Historical Context
Pittsburgh is a major industrial city built in the Allegheny Mountains.
Called “The City of Bridges” by the Society of Civil Engineers, nothing is
flat or straight! Pittsburgh has more bridges and tunnels than any other US
city and each hex has a waterway. Three major rivers (Ohio, Allegheny and
Monongehela) meet in Pittsburgh. The SCE says the cost of building roads
and railroads in Pittsburgh is 5 times the US national average. The only long
straight sections of railroad track in Pittsburgh are on bridges or in tunnels.
Setup
Place 3 Goods in all cities.
Actions
The Turn Order Action has been replaced with the Commonwealth Grant
Action. The Commonwealth Grant Action reduces the cost of one $10 track
build to $7.
Building Track
Simple Straight track costs $10. Complex Track that introduces straight
track costs $10. Simple Curved track costs $3. Complex Track that does not
introduce straight track costs $4. Towns cost $0.
Goods Growth
Cities 1-6 receive Goods from both the light and dark sides of the Goods
display.
