18MN: Headwaters of Industry

Minnesota was built on what its railroads could carry. From the 1860s onward, tracks pushed out toward the wheat fields of the Red River Valley, the great pine forests of the north, and the iron ranges above Lake Superior, turning a young state into an engine of grain, timber, and ore. Fortunes were made and lost as small lines raced to reach the next boom, only to be absorbed into the empires that came to rule the map. This game tells that story.

This game is based on the ruleset of 18NewEngland with the added dimension of resources that can be finite but offer the opportunity to increase revenues.

You’ll need a copy of 18NewEngland and its rules to play the game.
