Eurorails

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Eurorails is a railroad board game designed by Darwin Bromley, Steven Courtemanche and Larry Roznai, published by Mayfair Games in 1990 as part of the Empire Builder series. It is played by two to six players in a session lasting three to four hours, recommended for ages ten and up, and combines economic and railroad-building gameplay in which players connect cities by building and extending train lines across a map of Europe to deliver cargo and earn money. As the European-themed spin-off of the original Empire Builder, it expanded the series' geographical scope from North America to the continent of Europe while keeping the same core rail-building and cargo-delivery mechanics. Eurorails won the Origins Award for Best Modern-Day Boardgame of 1990 and was featured on Games magazine's 1992 Games 100 list of notable games.
