Northern Pacific

Manufacturer: Rio Grande Games

It is the year 1870, and the Northern Pacific is getting ready to lay some track from Minneapolis to the Pacific Ocean. That means that thousands of farmers, miners, ranchers, and lumberjacks will be able to move their goods to the hungry eastern markets. More importantly, it means that there's more money to be made by investing in booming railroad towns!

It is time to pour money into promising railroad towns and spend time influencing the railroad route. The investor that reaps the most benefit will be crowned the winner.
