Review: Most play - Love this game. 64 plays in 6 months says a lot!
Review: Excellent additon to GMT's 18XX Railroad Game Series - Great addition to the 18XX series that GMT Games is creating. Much more complex than 1846, their first game in the series, but presents a very different and highly competitive situation. Can be played with 2 - 8, and also has solo rules.

Love this game. 64 plays in 6 months says a lot!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent additon to GMT's 18XX Railroad Game Series
*by K***N on October 22, 2021*

Great addition to the 18XX series that GMT Games is creating. Much more complex than 1846, their first game in the series, but presents a very different and highly competitive situation. Can be played with 2 - 8, and also has solo rules.

### ⭐ Bad packaging from the shipper.
*by J***N on December 12, 2020*

I know the game is good but whoever shipped this needs to learn to put padding in the box it comes shipped in. Wanted to play today but looks like I will have to wait a few days for the replacement.
