Description

Eddie Robbins' Rising Sun Railroads is a no-luck, rather cutthroat game that covers the creation of the railroads in Japan from 1870-1915, with the help of the British, Germans, Swiss and Americans. The game objective is to connect cities with the railroad.

Rising Sun Railroads is one of the two games and seven expansions from Winsome Games to be released at Spiel 2011.
