Russian Railroads: American Railroads

Essen 2016

Adds stuff of the same type. All negatives of base is also here. Not much variability. Can be solved by experienced player early. German railroads fixes this. German and American almost unmixable.

Another excellent expansion for RR. The different tracks seem equally important now, making the best strategies less obvious. The stock track is a great addition, its like a racing mini game with players setting the rewards.

Game appears to have an optimal path. The stock market did not factor in as much in our game as I had hoped.

Expansion Stored in main box

The first time I played I scored 475, around 90 points more than the next highest player. Is there a runaway leader problem here?

Slightly more complicated version of the original. Adds a little more variety too, for a game that already had a bunch. Still not sure it's balanced...the factory-building route is quite powerful.
