There are multiple instances where the only place to find important information was deep within the rulebook. Sadly, this lack of helpful iconography- beyond the very basics- is prevalent throughout. It can derail one’s thought process and can greatly hamper their enjoyment. Having to stop and check the rulebook or ask someone else for help is really unfortunate. It goes a long way to a player’s enjoyment if they can play as independently as possible. But when you’re playing something for the first time, trying to get your feet under you and formulate a plan, it helps if you can have all the information you need so that you can keep your planning train running in your head. How can a new player…expect to put together a proper course of action when they don’t have easy access to all the necessary information?Now, of course we’re all friends and it’s not a big deal to ask someone to remind you of certain rules.

Whoever has the most Victory Points at the end of the second era is the winner and the true Titan of Industry. At the end of the Rail era you will, in addition, receive points for any money left over. At the end of both eras, you will score Victory Points based on the number of links connected to tiles with the link-scoring symbol and then score points printed on most building tiles. Once all cards have been played- both from all players’ hands and the draw pile- the era is over. At the end of each turn, players draw two cards from a draw pile to refill their hand to eight. For certain actions that card must correspond to a specific location or to a specific type of industrial building. For each action you take, you must discard a card from your starting hand of eight cards. These actions consist of constructing buildings, establishing links, developing your industry, selling certain goods to increase your income and taking loans. In typical Roxley fashion, they have given it a makeover that makes it unrecognizable from its original look.

Otherwise, each era takes place over a series of turns in which, following turn order, each player will take two actions from among the 5 available (the same action may be repeated twice). The gameplay is the same throughout both eras except that in the Canal era players can only build canal links and, simply enough, only rail links in the Rail era. The game takes place over two eras- the Canal Era and the Rail Era. If I were to quickly define this game, I would say that it is an economic game with elements of route planning and a tad of hand management. New players’ turns are drastically lengthened by trying to figure out a strategy. Likelihood of Analysis Paralysis: Extremely high. I can see this being heavily minimized by multiple plays. Not too bad considering others had played only once or twice. Will most likely still play fairly slow throughout. Newer players will take much longer for the first handful of turns. Lots of little rules and terminology to cover.Įxtremely variable. Lots of tokens to place out on player boards resource cubes to place out on game board deck of cards to shuffle and deal out. Some card sorting depending on player count.
