During the second third of the 19th century, a rapid development
of railway transport got under way. All over the world, the railway
networks were growing and steam engines accelerated the progress.
175 years ago, on December 7 1935 to be precise, the first German
train powered by a steam engine started operating between Nuremberg
and Fürth, transporting passengers and goods. In England’s
region of Wensleydale transport of goods via railway tracks was
started 13 years later.
Your company is far too small to be able to have its own engine
works, so contacts with the major operators will help you acquire
second-hand trains and rolling stock. You will also need to be on
good terms with the two local railway companies. Without their support
you will not be able to link to their networks, nor will you be
able to negotiate the sale of your lines when they become unprofitable
(as they surely will). With First Train to Nuremberg now two players
can fully enjoy this extraordinary train game as well. Instead of
cheese and stone, now beer and post will be transported, besides
passengers of course. There is a new challenge when transporting
passengers: they can travel first class now and thus you will gain
more victory points but on the other hand, you have to buy trains
that are more expensive. Additionally, you may benefit from the
first connection between Nuremberg and Fürth and receive extra
victory points, which may be crucial for winning the game.
First Train to Nuremberg is a revised edition of Last Train to Wensleydale.
And you may play the original game of Last Train to Wensleydale
on the flip side of the game board, or almost so. Some slight changes
of the original rules work with that map as well as the rules of
the first edition.
No extra supplements were included in our ediiton of the
game so you can download it using the link on the right.
