New England Rails is a business game set in 19th
century New England for two to five players. Each
player takes on the role of a would-be business tycoon
seeking to increase profits by expanding business holdings
and connecting them by railroad to major cities.
Players can make decisions to improve their own holdings,
and can directly affect each other by the use of
Action Cards. They may trade and buy business, as well
obtain Special Routes, Mail Contracts and State
Subsidies. The businessman who has the most money
by the end is the winner!
