In the 1830's, George Stephenson's marvelous new steam locomotive, Rocket, won
the competition to pull traffic along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the
world's first to carry passengers. The Industrial Revolution, with England as its
crucible, was in full swing. New goods were being produced and transported to the
expanding metropolises. Financial entrepreneurs, the new railway barons, grabbed
the opportunity to develop the new railway network.
Stephenson's Rocket gives you the chance to become an early railway baron. You decide where to establish and develop railway lines, where to build your stations and in which industries to invest. Watch out for your competitors as they try to snatch the best routes and trade opportunities from under your nose. Time your play right, and you'll force your opponents to merge their railway lines with yours (to your advantage, of course). Relive the excitement of railway building in the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution - England!
A tactical tile placement game for 2 to 4 players lasting 75 minutes.
German Edition by Pegasus Games. Dutch Edition by 999 Games. English Edition by Rio Grande Games. Full English translation available.
