Box Description
It was the steel rails of the world's first railroads that allowed Britain to build its industrial might. These early trains carried the goods that fed the growing demands of the industrial revolution. Without these Iron Horses, the modern industrial world would never have come to be.

Now you can take part in the excitement and adventure of railroading in the enchanted misty land of Britain! You must compete to build tracks across the exotic features of this island nation, joining together city and village, and rushing across the countryside from London to York and beyond! Can you build the largest and most profitable railroad in Great Britain? Will you be the first to amass a great fortune by creating a rail network to carry commerce to all parts of England, Scotland, and Wales?

This new, revised edition of this classic game of railroad building and operation features a newly revisited map with improvements and corrections to create better play balance. A new and improved assortment of demand cards create all-new challenges for new and old players alike.

British Rails features the award-winning Empire Builder System. Players use special crayons to draw track right on the re-usable board. There are no limits on how the rail network will grow, so every game of British Rails will be different! In addition to track building, players must run their trains to deliver much needed goods to the cities and towns that demand them, collecting payoffs that will allow them to continue to expand their network.

Join the ranks of the greatest rail-builders of all time! Answer the call of British Rails!

NOTE FOR PARENTS: British Rails is geographically accurate. The mountains, rivers, and plains as well as the natural resources are accurately portrayed. Playing the game with your children is an easy way for you to help them learn about Great Britain and give them the opportunity to make their own decisions.
