During the middle of the 19th century, the time of the Industrial Revolution, you must take advantage of the steam age and build your railroad empire by developing railroads, expanding buildings, and moving passengers to make the most profit at the end of twelve rounds!

Railways is the first title in the "Nano9games" family. With 9 cards, 9 dice, and 9 cubes, you must create a network and connect the buildings to move passengers. You will use icons and cards to perform actions. During every round, play cards to combine icons to perform actions:

• Create a link
• Move a passenger
• Construct a building
• Upgrade an existing link
• Take money
• Decrease pollution
• Add a new passenger

If you play two icons from the same card, you must also increase your pollution. Your aim is to make as much profit as possible, and you earn money when you move passengers through links and buildings...

With a second set of cards — and dice and cubes in a different color — you can also play Railways with two players.
