Silverton - The Game of Colorado Railroading

Players buy trains, send out surveyors to build new track, give prospectors goals for claims, purchase and operate mining claims which can offer coal, lumber, silver and gold, or even haul passengers around this turn of the century map. Once you find a claim, build track to the location, and pay the operating expenses, you'll still need to contend with hauling the material to market as well as the always present possibility of the claim running out of materials. If you use the advanced rules, you can expect to add track grade issues and winter snow fall to the list of problems you'll encounter. As if that wasn't bad enough, there's always the distinct possibility that someone else will beat you to the market and make the unique supply and demand oriented prices drop right before you deliver your goods.
