This game is both a standalone release from Martin Wallace and also an expansion for Railways of the World. It focuses on the creation of the rail networks in the mid-19th century.

As an expansion to the base Railways of the World game system, this map is a worthy addition. The map is in a matt finish as opposed to the glossy Eastern US map and the purple cities are purple (those familiar with the game will know exactly what I'm talking about). The E&W map works well with 2 players, although the game may need to be extended past the 9 empty city markers as recommended) as it does with 4 or 5.

As well as a basic expansion there is a new economic system that changes the base game considerably. You can now invest in railway companies of which there are 6. Dividends are paid out to share holders and the companies can even merge. Using this variant the normal rules of length of a link and train sizes no longer apply.

Overall, this is a great expansion - both as a new map to play on or using the shares system for a totally different playing experience.
