1846: The Race to the Midwest, 1846-1935, 2nd Printing

Note on 2nd Printing: This version is identical to the first printing, except that there is an updated rulebook in which all known errata is corrected. Tom also made one rule change to Rule 6.86 that affects emergency fund raising. Also, 2 new Private Companies have been added for greater variety, particularly in 5-player games.

In 1846, 3-5 tycoons compete to earn money and build the best stock portfolio by investing in and operating railroads within the midwestern United States.

Five competing railroads, in search of Midwestern grain and markets, crossed the Appalachian mountains in the early 1850s: the New York Central, Erie, Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, and, via Canada, the Grand Trunk, backed by Boston merchants.
