(The others in the series are pretty much the same but use different maps. Eurorails is the one I actually have played and own.)In Eurorails, each player builds competing railway companies (in this case, in Europe). You pick and choose between assignments to carry goods or services from one city to another. The longer the trip and the rarer the cargo, the more money you make. However, you have to spend money to build tracks all over Europe. The winner is the first one to reach a certain amount of money.Like most good games, you need a combination of luck and strategy to win. There's a bit of a learning curve at first, but it's actually very simple once you get the hang of it. The games are long (4+ hours or so, worth a good gaming session or two). But by the second time I played it, I was hooked.The freaky part is, the game is actually educational. A few games of Eurorails, and I guarantee you'll know more about what goods these cities and countries export than when you started (at least, if you're American and not a geography specialist).</blockquote>
