Rail Baron

Rail Baron is like monopoly, move around the board and purchase railroads. Instead of collecting all the railroads, you need to make a certain amount of money and must make it back to your home town with that baseline to win. You can purchase railroads to build your empire, so that your travels will be cheap from place to place, while making your competitors pay you for using your rails. Upgrade your train to an Express or Super Chief so that you can zoom from place to place. Most importantly, buy railroads so that the connected routes give you the advantage.
