Overview:


Players invest in train companies to amass the most profits before the game ends. 2-6 players take turns either auctioning shares, developing locations or building trains to amass the most amount of money.
Game End Conditions (one of the following ends the game):
- 3 of the 4 companies runs out of shares (most common)
- 3 of the 4 companies runs out of trains
- 4 or less development pieces are remaining
- Players end the 8th round (Detroit's marker will exit the 8th space)
- The game ends after a dividend, not right away
Actions:
- Put a share of a company for auction
- Develop a city/mountain/forest space
- Build 1-3 trains of a company that a player owns a share of
Auction:
- Minimum bid is the current value of the company divided by the shares out + the share being auctioned
- Players bid in turn order
- Passing means you are out of the bid
- Winner places their money into the company's coffers
Develop:
- Developing a city/mountain/forest places a development house onto that space
- Any company in a developed city or mountain increases their value by the number indicated in the development symbol
- Any company in a developed forest receives $2 that goes into the company directly from the bank
- Developing the industrial cities Pittsburgh or Wheeling slides the development marker to the next space on the right, meaning they can be developed multiple times
- Detroit cannot be developed by players and develops itself by 1 at the end of each dividend phase
Build:
- Players take 1-3 trains of a company they have a share of and place it anywhere on the board as long as it is connected to another train of the same color
- The company pays the cost of building which is the red number in the space it is entering
- Only one company can be in an individual forest or mountain space
- Cities and plains with companies in them increases the cost to place a train into that space which is the space's cost multiplied by the amount of companies already there
- Companies increase their income value by the number indicated in the train symbol to the right of the red cost number, increased further if the space is developed
- The value of the industrial cities Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Detroit is located on a separate area near the bottom of the board
- Only cities, industrial cities and mountains increase a company's income value
