The BasicsA very simple railway game. Each player has a set of 5 cities strung across the US that need to be connected by rail. Players place either 1 or 2 rails each turn. The player who can make the best use of the other players' networks is generally victorious.
Both games play the same, only difference is the maps, rules are the same for both.

- Work: We could probably play 2-3 games at lunch time.
- Home: Works well with kids, spouses non gamer family members.
- Plays best with: Works fine with 2-6 players, best with 2-3.

- Re-playability: Very high, unless you don't like any luck in your games.
- Real Life Setup: 5 minutes, shuffle cards, deal cards, select placement of first piece.
