New Strategic Board Game Railway Boom Arrives in Late September

Railway Boom is a new strategic economic board game in which you and others will attempt to become the best to run the rails.

Tabletop publisher CrowD Games has revealed its latest game coming out shortly, as Railway Boom will arrive in late September. This is a new strategic economic board game in which you will compete against other players to see who is the best at running the rails across Japan. Every move you make is a key to running and improving commerce and your own hold over the region, as you'll make sure everything is taken care of without issue, while also trying to do it better than your competitors. We have more details below as the game is currently up for pre-order.

Become The Best at Running The Rails With Railway Boom

Build your railway network, develop a powerful card engine, transport goods, and compete in open auctions where every bid matters. The resources you spend to win an auction are also the resources you need to grow your company, forcing you to constantly choose between immediate opportunities and long-term strategy. Railway Boom is perfect for players who enjoy railway and economic strategy games, auctions and competitive bidding, engine-building and clever resource management, building and expanding networks, transporting goods and optimizing combinations, multiple strategic paths, and high replayability.

With objectives that change every game, Railway Boom rewards players who enjoy adapting their strategy and making difficult decisions. The game is played over four rounds, each divided into six phases.

• Bid for priority to acquire Locomotives and Carriages
• Bid to expand your railway network and build stations in new cities
• Bid for Development Cards that improve your engine and provide powerful abilities
• Generate income based on your company's development
• Operate your trains, load cargo, spend coal, and activate your Carriages
• Bid for valuable Objective multipliers that can dramatically increase your final score

The auctions are at the heart of the game. Bid too little and your opponents may take the cards and opportunities you need. Bid too much and you may leave yourself without enough resources to actually use them. After four rounds, score your Objectives, unused resources, and the length of your railway. The player with the most Victory Points wins.
