Pacific Rails Inc.

It is 1862 and the American Congress has decreed the construction of a railroad that will cross the continent and will, for the first time, connect the east and west coasts by rail. The transcontinental railroad is an epic engineering feat - combining advanced construction techniques with human strength and determination. A fortune is to be made for those who can build the railroad the fastest!

Your task is to put together an efficient team of workers, plan your route, and race with the other players to connect the two coasts first!

The basic mechanic of the game is the placement of workers. In your turn, you can either place a worker on an action or remove an existing worker. If you place a pawn next to one of your own workers, your actions are activated.

To get the best results, it is essential to plan a sequence of actions. Keep an eye on the other players and try to block them if they are preparing a super move.

You will also strengthen your team during the game. You only start with the foreman, but you can hire extra specialists on your train, which will allow you to build more tracks, put pressure on the Congress and give you powerful actions.

Add car bonuses and you'll be able to chain together powerful actions producing epic towers that will show off your mastery of the rails!


Once you've prepared your track, you must plan the best route. You must have the tracks ready to match the terrain you want to cover and decide which cities to connect and which to avoid. You must be able to make a connection to the next city in a single action - so make sure you don't miss any tracks!

Also watch what your rivals are doing - points are offered if you can get them to use your connected cities.
