CHICAGO EXPRESS
John Bohrer's Chicago Express is an innovative new boardgame with no luck factor. Chicago Express was originally released in a limited format by Winsome Games as Wabash Cannonball and it was the first game in Winsome's Historic Railroads System.
In the game the B&O, C&O, Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads drive from the East Coast across the growing eastern US to Chicago. Smaller, more aggressive railroads like the Wabash spring up to further expand America's extensive railroads. The sharpest railroad executives vie for the maximum return on their investment in this business game lasting about one hour.
A session of Chicago Express is played over a maximum of 8 rounds. In each round, the players take turns choosing one of three available actions:
- auctioning a share of one of the railroad companies
- expanding the rail system of one of the railroad companies
- develop one of the board's hexes
NARROW GAUGE & EERIE RAILWAY COMPANY EXPANSIONS
Narrow Gauge Expansion: Small independent narrow gauge railroads from near the standard gauge railroads. They block building in the mountain and forest hexes where they form and operate their business.
Erie Expansion: Another railroad company is getting involved in the competition. What effect will the new company have on the market? The skills of the investors are what it's about now!
Both expansions n one box.
