About the game
What you do in a play session
In Kansas Pacific, you and your friends will jump into auctions to buy shares in one of six railroads starting their journey in eastern Kansas. The goal? See who builds the most profitable rail network! Every little town and village your line passes through will earn you some cash, but watch out: Wichita and Topeka offer hefty bonuses for those who go through them. Want more excitement? Try expanding your tracks westward! This 'land grant' area can yield more track cubes, and whoever manages to reach the Colorado border will receive a substantial income bonus that'll make your piggy bank overflow.
The game is a race to see who best manages their shares, expands their routes intelligently, and accumulates the most money. It's an economic game with network building and auctions that will demand planning and a keen eye on the market. If you enjoy train games with a historical touch and strategic decisions that are worth every penny, Kansas Pacific is a must-stop addition to your collection. Get ready to build an empire on rails and prove you're the ultimate railroad tycoon!
