Become part of a U.S. National Institution of the early 20th Century, as you build the routes and reputation of The Most Famous Train in the World: The 20th Century Limited!

You are American rail luminaries, creating small independent lines to serve local cities. Plying your business acumen, you plan to sell these lines to larger companies. Of course, you wouldn't be where you are today without knowing a thing or two about turning tricky situations to your advantage. You have a scheme in mind to get the big companies what they need, without necessarily having, shall we say, exclusive ownership of it.

20th Century Limited condenses the history of the American railroad into a sixty-minute game. Players take on the roles of the great railway robber barons as they set up small railroads, turn them into larger rail lines, then sell them off and start all over again. The spread of the North American rail system can happen on your game table in about an hour as the network develops in a fashion similar to the historical model.
