RIO GRANDE GAMES: COLORADO MIDLAND - Fabulous riches are discovered in the nearly inaccessible Rocky Mountains. Gold and silver mines are opening in remote boomtowns and the mine owners want men, equipment, and supplies to work the Mother Lode. Now, they say, is the time to build the rails through the Rockies! The sooner a railroad gets to a mine, the greater the profits for the mine owner before the mine is exhausted. The iron horse means money, and lots of it. Players are mine owners spurring the fledgling railroads through the daunting alpine terrain to the various booming mining districts. There is no luck during the game, just shared incentives and emergent alliances between players. A game for three to five players with less than an hour of playtime, designed by the modern master of train games.
Plan your rail network carefully. Optimize routes, anticipate your opponent's moves, and secure your legacy. Will you emerge as the railroad tycoon of the Rockies? Only time—and the clatter of steel wheels—will tell! Ages 12+, 3-5 Players, 45 Min
