(More customer reviews)EuroRails is a sequel to the Empire builder game system where you as a rail baron construct your rail lines from city to city delivering requested goods to the cities that require them (shades of pirates and travelers)
Each player has three cards with short, medium and long routes available. The amount the delivery pays depends on the distance, as you make a delivery you draw a new card and continue. Now the routes are built by the players, if you can't get your own tracks built to where you want to go you can use someone else's...for a fee. And there are also ferries and the chunnel to get you across seas large and small to England, Ireland and Scandinavia.
Of course there are limits to the number of people that can run to smaller cities, there are rivers and mountains of varying types to deal with, and when you draw cards all kinds of disasters can take place, floods, gales, rail strikes, snow storms, derailments that can slow you down or cost you your hard earned goods. Those who do not keep a reserve in the bank may be a single flood away from doom.
Of course you CAN turn in your cards for a new set, but that will cost you a turn while your rivals will be building lines, delivering goods and maybe upgrading their train's speed or carrying capacity.
There is one solid weakness of the game and that is the system itself, a few bad draws can put you out of the game quickly so the luck factor is larger than it should be, but with that caveat you will have a lot of fun riding the rails across Europe.
