British investors and newly settled Argentine immigrants develop the vast fertile pampas of Argentina with broad gauge railroad networks from 1870-1890. In this game, players invest in companies and try to increase the value of their holdings through cagey track construction choices. Track construction in this game is accomplished via "Consortium bidding" a unique system that forces players to cooperate to grow their companies. Ferrocarriles Pampas is the first game in the Prairie Railroads Series.
