New England Railways (2000)

About this game

This, the second game in the Early Railways Series following Lancashire Railways is set in New England. The game's core mechanics include bidding for the right to build track and then shipping goods over that track to gain income. Mechanically, this game is identical to Lancashire Railways, though the map is naturally unique to this game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
