Railroad Tycoon

Martin Wallace (Age of Steam, Struggle of Empires, Conquest of the Empire) is the brain behind a new Eagle Games boardgame, Railroad Tycoon. Published as a computer game by the legendary Sid Meyers, RT is a beautiful converstion into analog.

I purchased this on a whim from my local store, The Unknown, for 15% - apparently snagging it an hour or so after they received the new release in their store (nice turntime guys!). Very heavy box, weighing probably 9 pounds. Very nice colored bits, cards, and huge board.

There are some really good and interesting reviews on the 'Geek, so I will defer to the review experts for more detail for now.

What I'd be curious to know is, would anyone be interested in playing this one with me?
