About the game
The 19th Century has arrived and America is heading west. Wagon trains form on the
frontier. Settlers seeking fresh lives and opportunities strike out to tame wild lands and
build new cities. These new cities rely on young railroads for vital goods. Trails become
rails and create great wealth.
While the crowded east still offers options, its resources dwindle. Look west to make
your fortune. Smart money seeks rich, unclaimed land and hungry new markets. Finance your
settlers as they head west to build capitals of tomorrow. Link these cities with rails of
steel. Operate your railroad to supply the townsfolk with goods. Go west. Settle the wide,
open land. Claim your destiny!
Settlers of America, Trails to Rails utilises the simple, fun Catan hex-tile grid to
map the young United States. Collect and trade resources in order to purchase and move
settlers, build cities, lay rails and acquire and move trains. Create rail links to
acquire gold, which lets you buy resources and use opponents' rails. Use trains to
distribute goods to rival cities. But, as your settlers populate the west, they deplete
the resources of the east. Still, your options always abound. |
