Description

In 1871, with Canada only 4 years old, the Prime Minister calls for a massive undertaking: a transcontinental railway to link the established eastern provinces with the newly-added western province. Between them lay the vast, undeveloped interior. It would be a nation-defining project, opening up the resource-rich Canadian shield, the fertile prairies, and the breathtaking Rocky Mountain Cordillera, shaping not only the economy of the young country but its identity as well.

This is The Transcontinental, a medium-weight worker-placement game about the development of the Canadian transcontinental railway. It features award-winning mechanics and a rich historical theme.

In 2019, The Transcontinental was awarded the Canadian Game Design Award, and in 2020 it was awarded the Cardboard Edison Award.
