Players are railroad pioneers in this easy family game, building railroads across France and Germany. Each desires to maximize their gains from these early railroads, seeking to be the most invested in the most lucrative railroads. Very simple rules are used, but the ability to bluff and misdirect offer a challenging game experience. No two games play the same and each game takes about 30 minutes. This award winning game, previously published as Paris Connection with only a map of France, now includes a map of Germany. The rules are largely the same when playing Germany, with two minor changes to fit the history and character of Germany. Designed and developed by the master of modern train games.
