Chicago Express - Train Board Game and Wabash Cannonball Reprint

http://www.bestdanggames.com

Chicago Express is an innovative new boardgame with no luck factor.

The players try to earn as much profit as possible by buying shares in thriving railroad companies. Player have several options for increasing the value of shares in the companies, which, in turn, increase their profits.

In Chicago Express, the B&O, C&O, Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads drive from the East Coast across the growing eastern US to Chicago. Smaller, more aggressive railroads like the Wabash spring up to further expand America's extensive railroads. The sharpest railroad executives vie for the maximum return on their investment in this business game.

Great job on the review. One question--how does it compare to the 1870's games, from a play perspective? (What's different from those, outside the turn mechanics?)

I think train games that allow you to build tracks and trains separately look much more attractive.
