In this medium-weight economic game, you step into the shoes of a visionary capitalist, managing a stock portfolio across six fictional train companies. The goal is straightforward: amass the most money and become the ultimate railroad tycoon.

The gameplay revolves around intense negotiation, strategic planning, and a dynamic stock auction. The turn order is flexible and player-controlled, adding an extra layer of interaction and anticipation.
