Rails West

_Rails West!_ is a simulation game about the 19th century speculation in
railroad financing. It allows for 1-8 players, with up to 4 under computer
control. The long scenario starts in 1870 and ends after the 1900 turn (with
31 turns total). The short scenario starts in 1890 and ends either in 1895 (6
turns) or 1900 (11 turns). The objective is to accumulate cash, stocks and
bonds and to control viable transcontinental railroads through strategical
decisions.
