“Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, but the train keeps moving. Life is the train, not the station.”
-Paulo Coelho.
Let me introduce you to a deep but familly-friendly train game: The Railways of the World Series:
Railways of the World is the most recent version of the base game for Eagle-Gryphon Games' popular Railways of the World series, first published as Railroad Tycoon in 2005. It reimplements the original game with several improvements.
Revisit the early days of the Age of Steam as you begin with a locomotive (the venerable John Bull, the first locomotive to run in North America) and a vision (your Tycoon "mission" card). From there, build your budding railroad network into a vast empire. Connect New York to Chicago, earn the most money, develop bigger and faster locomotives and maybe even span North America and build the Transcontinental Railway!
You will be able to whistle all the way through the eastern half of the United States, but if that is not enough, you will be able to choose a map from 5 available: Travel through Mexico (4 players max), discover Great Britain rails (up to 5 players), take a break in Portugal (4 players max), or just see the other coast of the USA with the Western U.S map!
This game is preceded by the designer's other Winsome train games: Age of Steam, Australian Railways, Volldampf, New England Railways, Veld Spoorweg, Lancashire Railways, and Ferrocarriles Pampas. Railroad Tycoon was the result of a collaboration with Glenn Drover, in which the mechanisms and game-play of Martin Wallace's Age of Steam were simplified and streamlined. Attractive high quality components were added in order to make Railroad Tycoon more appealing to less hardcore gamers and more accessible to a wider audience.
You can play it now on BGA, by just clicking here:

Oh, and you will be able to select many more options to suit your beloved gameplay, like mines, bidding style, city rotors (for Westerrn US map) and more... There is so much to discover! You can play with 2 to 6 players in an hour. Such a big deal!
We are proud to bring you this game thanks to the cooperation of the publisher, Eagle-Gryphon Games, and of course the game designers, Glenn Drover and Martin Wallace (yes).
Also, let's celebrate the wonderful work done by our developer, WetDogIsHappy, who made a wonderful adaptation for us. The game plays beautifully, there are plenty of options for you to choose, and it is a very clean adaptation of the game for you to play on Board Game Arena.
We really wish you will enjoy it as much as we do.
There are always surprises on BGA, but that's it for this week.
*We would like to send you our warmest thanks for being such an awesome community.
So please, take care of each others during this holidays season. And spread love all around you.*
See you next week!
RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD:我帶你上車!
“ 從出生到死亡,我們的生命是一個持續的旅程。
風景變化著,身旁的人變化著,我們的需求變化著,但火車持續前行。
生活就像火車,而不是車站。”
-Paulo Coelho。
讓我向你介紹一款有深度也非常適合家庭的火車遊戲:The Railways of the World系列作品:
Railways of the World是 Eagle-Gryphon Games 廣受歡迎的Railways of the World系列的基礎遊戲最新版本,該系列於 2005 年首次以鐵路大亨的形式發布。
它通過多項改進對原版遊戲進行了再置。
重溫蒸汽時代初期,從蒸氣火車(令人尊敬的John Bull,第一輛在北美運行的車頭)和願景(您的大亨“任務”卡)開始。
從那裡,建築您蓬勃的鐵道路網在羅馬帝國中。
將紐約與芝加哥相連,賺最多的錢,開發更大更快的火車,甚至還可能跨越北美洲建造洲際鐵路!
您將能夠一路吹口哨穿越美國東半部,但如果這還不夠,您還可以從 5 個可用地圖中選擇一張:穿越墨西哥(最多 4 名玩家),探索英國鐵路(最多 5 名玩家),在葡萄牙休息一下(最多 4 名玩家),或在美西地圖看看另一端的海岸線!
這款遊戲由其他 Winsome 火車遊戲的設計師的作品:蒸汽時代、澳大利亞鐵路、Volldampf、新英格蘭鐵路、Veld Spoorweg、蘭開夏鐵路和 Ferrocarriles Pampas 。
Railroad Tycoon 是與 Glenn Drover 合作的成果,其中 Martin Wallace 的蒸氣時代的機制和遊戲玩法被簡化和線性化了。
添加了有吸引力的高品質元素,使鐵路大亨對不那麼鐵桿的遊戲玩家更具吸引力,且容易被更廣泛的玩家接受。
您現在可以在 BGA 上遊玩它,只需點擊此處:

哦,您還將能選擇更多選項來配合您喜愛的遊戲玩法,例如地雷、競標風格、城市轉子(適用於美國西部地圖)等等...…
還有很多東西可以去探索!
遊戲人數 2 至 6 人,遊玩時間大約一小時。
就是這麼棒的事情!
感謝發行商 Eagle-Gryphon Games以及遊戲設計師Glenn Drover和Martin Wallace (是的)的合作,我們很榮幸為您帶來這款遊戲。
此外,讓我們慶祝我們的開發人員WetDogIsHappy所做的出色工作,他為我們做了精彩的移植。
遊戲玩起來很漂亮,有很多選項供您選擇,這款遊戲的數位化後非常乾淨俐落,供您在Board Game Arena上玩。
我們真的希望您能像我們一樣享受它。
BGA 總有驚喜,但本週就大致如此。
我們想向您表示最熱烈的感謝,感謝您成為如此出色的社群中的一員。
所以請大家在這個接下來假期裡彼此好好保重。
並向你身邊的人散播愛。
與您下週再見!
