Join us for this cutthroat game of railroads and business acumen that straddles the line between 18XX and cube rails! Expect the game to bleed over the 3 hour time slot. B&O can take up to 4 hours! Additionally, there will be some scratch paper, writing utensils, and poker chips provided to help speed things along. However, B&O boasts a simple six-page rulebook, so don't be intimidated if you haven't played before! Publisher description: "With a bright Peep from the whistle, a full Chuff from the pistons and a powerful Clank from the drivers, America’s first steam locomotive moves down the steel rails of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in Baltimore in 1830. This strategic railroad game extends from the first of America’s railroads through the golden age of steam, where pioneering rail barons knit together the fledgling United States with iron roads, realizing the full power of the nation’s mighty heartland. Each player takes the roles of railroad presidents and their wealthy investors, betting that their capital gambles will pay off handsomely. Baltimore & Ohio is not a game of luck or chance, but a competitive struggle of wits, savvy and guile. With the resources at hand, should you focus on further expansion, technological breakthroughs or emerging markets? This modern classic has all the challenges faced by the empire building capitalists that created a superpower."
