High Speed Rail Board Game
The High Speed Rail Board Game is a fast (60 minute), fun, and educational game for 2 to 6 players where you negotiate with other politicians to bring high speed rail to your voters. Featuring innovative gameplay mechanics designed to capture the wheeling and dealing in infrastructure politics, the High Speed Rail Game takes a simple, interactive approach: when it's your turn to lay new track, you'll ask the other players for proposals and pick one to go with. With games averaging an hour and randomized starts, it's designed to please everyone from the experienced gamer to your housemates.
