“Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station.”
-Paulo Coelho.
Let me introduce you to a deep but familly-friendly train game: The Railways of the World Series:
Railways of the World is the most recent version of the base game for Eagle-Gryphon Games' popular Railways of the World series, first published as Railroad Tycoon in 2005. It reimplements the original game with several improvements.
Revisit the early days of the Age of Steam as you begin with a locomotive (the venerable John Bull, the first locomotive to run in North America) and a vision (your Tycoon "mission" card). From there, build your budding railroad network into a vast empire. Connect New York to Chicago, earn the most money, develop bigger and faster locomotives and maybe even span North America and build the Transcontinental Railway!
You will be able to whistle all the way through the eastern half of the United States, but if that is not enough, you will be able to choose a map from 5 available: Travel through Mexico (4 players max), discover Great Britain rails (up to 5 players), take a break in Portugal (4 players max), or just see the other coast of the USA with the Western U.S map!
This game is preceded by the designer's other Winsome train games: Age of Steam, Australian Railways, Volldampf, New England Railways, Veld Spoorweg, Lancashire Railways, and Ferrocarriles Pampas. Railroad Tycoon was the result of a collaboration with Glenn Drover, in which the mechanisms and game-play of Martin Wallace's Age of Steam were simplified and streamlined. Attractive high quality components were added in order to make Railroad Tycoon more appealing to less hardcore gamers and more accessible to a wider audience.
You can play it now on BGA, by just clicking here:

Oh, and you will be able to select many more options to suit your beloved gameplay, like mines, bidding style, city rotors (for Westerrn US map) and more... There is so much to discover! You can play with 2 to 6 players in an hour. Such a big deal!
We are proud to bring you this game thanks to the cooperation of the publisher, Eagle-Gryphon Games, and of course the game designers, Glenn Drover and Martin Wallace (yes).
Also, let's celebrate the wonderful work done by our developer, WetDogIsHappy, who made a wonderful adaptation for us. The game plays beautifully, there are plenty of options for you to choose, and it is a very clean adaptation of the game for you to play on Board Game Arena.
We really wish you will enjoy it as much as we do.
There are always surprises on BGA, but that's it for this week.
*We would like to send you our warmest thanks for being such an awesome community.
So please, take care of each others during this holidays season. And spread love all around you.*
See you next week!
VERDENS JERNBANER: Hold dampen oppe!
"Vores liv er en konstant rejse, fra fødsel til død.
Landskabet ændrer sig, menneskene ændrer sig, vores behov ændrer sig, men toget bliver ved med at bevæge sig.
Livet er toget, ikke stationen."
-Paulo Coelho.
Lad mig introducere dig til et dybt, men familievenligt togspil: The Railways of the World Series:
Railways of the World er den seneste version af basisspillet til Eagle-Gryphon Games' populære Railways of the World-serie, først udgivet som Railroad Tycoon i 2005.
Det genimplementerer det originale spil med adskillige forbedringer.
Gense de tidlige dage af Age of Steam, når du begynder med et lokomotiv (den ærværdige John Bull, det første lokomotiv, der kørte i Nordamerika) og en vision (dit Tycoon "mission"-kort).
Derfra kan du bygge dit spirende jernbanenetværk til et stort imperium.
Forbind New York med Chicago, tjen flest penge, udvikle større og hurtigere lokomotiver og spænd måske endda over Nordamerika og byg den transkontinentale jernbane!
Du vil være i stand til at fløjte hele vejen gennem den østlige halvdel af USA, men hvis det ikke er nok, vil du være i stand til at vælge et kort fra 5 tilgængelige: Rejs gennem Mexico (max 4 spillere), opdag Storbritanniens skinner (op til 5 spillere), tag en pause i Portugal (maks. 4 spillere), eller se bare den anden kyst af USA med det vestlige amerikanske kort!
Dette spil er forudgået af designerens andre Winsome-togspil: Age of Steam, Australian Railways, Volldampf, New England Railways, Veld Spoorweg, Lancashire Railways og Ferrocarriles Pampas.
Railroad Tycoon var resultatet af et samarbejde med Glenn Drover, hvor mekanismerne og gameplayet i Martin Wallaces Age of Steam blev forenklet og strømlinet.
Attraktive komponenter af høj kvalitet blev tilføjet for at gøre Railroad Tycoon mere tiltrækkende for mindre hardcore-spillere og mere tilgængelig for et bredere publikum.
Du kan spille det nu på BGA ved blot at klikke her:
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga~...~oftheworld
Åh, og du vil være i stand til at vælge mange flere muligheder, der passer til dit elskede gameplay, såsom miner, budstil, byrotorer (til det vestlige USA-kort) og mere...
Der er så meget at opdage!
Du kan spille med 2 til 6 spillere på en time.
Sådan en stor ting!
Vi er stolte af at kunne bringe dig dette spil takket være samarbejdet fra udgiveren, Eagle-Gryphon Games, og selvfølgelig spildesignerne, Glenn Drover og Martin Wallace (ja).
Lad os også fejre det vidunderlige arbejde udført af vores udvikler, WetDogIsHappy, som lavede en vidunderlig tilpasning til os.
Spillet spiller smukt, der er masser af muligheder for dig at vælge, og det er en meget ren tilpasning af spillet, som du kan spille på Board Game Arena.
Vi ønsker virkelig, at du vil nyde det lige så meget, som vi gør.
Der er altid overraskelser på BGA, men det er det for denne uge.
Vi vil gerne sende dig vores varmeste tak for at være sådan et fantastisk fællesskab.
Så vær venlig at passe på hinanden i denne feriesæson.
Og spred kærlighed omkring dig.
Vi ses næste uge!
