Description

A Fast Card Game for 2-4 players where you draft Rail Road Shares into your Portfolio as well as the Rail Yard for everyone to score.

Each player a hand of 8 cards featuring a city, company, and good (in a 4 player game a hand is 6 cards).

Each player selects one card to place face up in their Portfolio (directly in front of them) and one card to place face up in the Rail Yard (center of the table).

All players simultaneously reveals these cards and sorts them into Companies (colors) for ease of viewing.

If a player ever has 3 cards of the SAME City AND Company in their Portfolio, these three cards are “Over Invested” and discarded.

This concludes the round.

After rounds 2 and 3 each player scores companies and goods in their portfolio multiplied by the number of matching companies and goods in the rail yard. The person with the highest score after round 3 wins!
