Product Information
In 1830 Railroads and Robber Barons you play a double role. Your ultimate objective as a baron is to end the game as the richest independent entrepreneur in this world of money and power. But to achieve this lofty goal you must also become the president of a railroad corporation, which is how you gain monetary worth as a baron. <br><br>You make money through your decisions affecting dividend and revenue disbursements as corporate president and then, as baron, earn megabucks by investing in the stock market and influencing stock values, especially those associated with your corporation. It is through your role as president of the corporation that you control all aspects of your railroad empire, from laying tracks to building and expanding your territory through guile or might. The game is based on the original board game by Avalon Hill and is set in southern Canada and the northeast United States. <br><br>1830 Railroads and Robber Barons features a point-and-click interface that switches between two main screens (stock review/manipulation and varied facets of railroad operations) after basic options including difficulty level, selection (through a bidding process) of private corporations to purchase at the start, and initial stock acquisitions are completed. You compete with five computer (or real) opponents in each game and have options for slow/fast play and random map generation.Product Identifiers
