Railway Boom Board Game

In the late 19th century, during the early Meiji era, Japan opened its first railway line between Shimbashi and Yokohama. This new mode of transportation sparked a railway boom across the country.

As players, you will take on the roles of these powerful tycoons, building and managing your own railway empires. Manage your resources – Money, Materials, Technology, and Coal – to see which tycoon will gain the most renown.

Railway Boom Board Game is played over the course of four rounds, and the player with the most VP (Victory Points) at the end of the game wins. Each round is comprised of 6 phases, 4 of which also feature an auction step. Each auction step, players bid their resources against each other for turn priority.
