Game Map
Railways of Great Britain (Max 5 players)
It is mid-19th century Great Britain. The tramways that first appeared to transport coal have since been upgraded to railways. Numerous different companies (using different railway gauges) have connected to villages, towns and cities across the country. Invest wisely and guide your railroad to financial success as you take control of the Railways of Great Britain.
Map Note: Players may not build across the black line between Hull, Grimsby and Goole. This represents the Humber, a large tidal estuary that wasn’t bridged until 1981 by what was the longest suspension bridge in the world at that time.
