“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!
MAAILMA RAUDTEED: ma valin-valin sind!
«Meie elu on pidev teekond sünnist surmani.
Maastik muutub, inimesed muutuvad, meie vajadused muutuvad, aga rong liigub edasi.
Elu on rong, mitte jaam.
- Paulo Coelho.
Lubage mul tutvustada teile sügavat, kuid peresõbralikku rongimängu: The Railways of the World Series:
Railways of the World on Eagle-Gryphon Gamesi populaarse sarja Railways of the World põhimängu uusim versioon, mis avaldati esmakordselt nime all Railroad Tycoon 2005. aastal.
See taastab algse mängu mitme täiustusega.
Tutvuge uuesti Age of Steami algusaegadega, alustades veduriga (auväärne John Bull, esimene Põhja-Ameerikas sõitnud vedur) ja visiooniga (teie Tycooni "missioonikaart").
Sealt edasi ehitage oma lootustandev raudteevõrk tohutuks impeeriumiks.
Ühendage New York Chicagoga, teenige kõige rohkem raha, arendage välja suuremaid ja kiiremaid vedureid ning võib-olla ulatuge isegi Põhja-Ameerikani ja ehitage üle kontinentaalne raudtee!
Saate vilistada terve tee läbi USA idapoolse poole, kuid kui sellest ei piisa, saate valida viie saadaoleva kaardi hulgast: reisida läbi Mehhiko (max 4 mängijat), avastada Suurbritannia rööbasteid. (kuni 5 mängijat), puhka Portugalis (max 4 mängijat) või lihtsalt vaata USA lääneranniku kaardiga USA teist rannikut!
Sellele mängule eelnevad disaineri teised Winsome'i rongimängud: Age of Steam, Australian Railways, Volldampf, New England Railways, Veld Spoorweg, Lancashire Railways ja Ferrocarriles Pampas.
Railroad Tycoon sündis koostöös Glenn Droveriga, mille käigus Martin Wallace'i Age of Steami mehhanisme ja mängukäiku lihtsustati ja täiustati.
Lisati atraktiivsed kvaliteetsed komponendid, et muuta Railroad Tycoon atraktiivsemaks vähem hardcore mängijatele ja kättesaadavamaks laiemale publikule.
Saate seda nüüd BGA-s mängida, klõpsates lihtsalt siin:

Oh, ja saate valida palju rohkem valikuid, mis sobivad teie armastatud mänguviisiga, nagu miinid, pakkumisstiil, linnarootorid (USA läänekaardi jaoks) ja palju muud...
Avastamist on nii palju!
Ühe tunni jooksul saate mängida 2 kuni 6 mängijaga.
Nii suur asi!
Oleme uhked, et saame selle mängu teieni tuua tänu koostööle väljaandja Eagle-Gryphon Games ja loomulikult mängudisainerite Glenn Droveri ja Martin Wallace'iga (jah).
Tähistagem ka meie arendaja WetDogIsHappy imelist tööd, kes tegi meie jaoks suurepärase kohanduse.
Mäng mängib ilusti, teil on palju valikuid ja see on mängu väga puhas kohandamine, mida saate Board Game Arena.
Soovime tõesti, et naudiksite seda sama palju kui meie.
BGA-s on alati üllatusi, kuid see selleks nädalaks ka kõik.
Soovime teile edastada soojad tänud, et olete nii vinge kogukond.
Nii et palun hoidke üksteist sel pühade ajal.
Ja levitage armastust kõikjal enda ümber.
Järgmisel nädalal näeme!
