Wabash Cannonball

Wabash Cannonball, which has also been released as Chicago Express, was the first title in Winsome Games' Historic Railroads System.

In the game, the B&O, C&O, Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads drive from the East Coast across the growing eastern U.S. to Chicago. Smaller, more aggressive railroads like the Wabash spring up to further expand America's extensive railroads. The sharpest railroad executives vie for the maximum return on their investment in this luck-free business game lasting about one hour.

The game plays out over a maximum of eight rounds. In each round, players take turns choosing one of three available actions:

Auctioning a share of one of the railroad companies.

Expanding the rail system of one of the railroad companies.

Developing one of the board's hexes.
