In 1833NE, 3-5 tycoons compete to earn money and build the best stock portfolio by investing in and operating railroads within New England and Montreal, Canada.
Historically, the Western division of the the Boston & Worcester RR was chartered in 1833 to drive west. Boston’s leaders recognized that New York City, with its easy access to the rapidly growing American midwest via the Erie canal, was a threat to their continued prosperity. To the north, Montreal interests sought freight access to a warm weather port, either Portland (Maine) or Boston, to ship their goods when the St. Laurence river froze each winter.
Can you build the most profitable rail network in New England, a small region buffeted by outside forces?
Game Play
Players begin by auctioning private companies and launching corporations. Stock rounds alternate with pairs of operating rounds. Each railroad—with its majority stock holder (President) making its decisions—lays track and stations, runs routes, declares dividends, and possibly buys bigger and better trains.
