Railways of North America expands the basic game of Railways of the World (ROTW) to Canada and requires a copy of the base game to play it. Fans of the series will be happy to see new features and an advanced map designed specifically for this expansion. Designed for 2-5 players (but best with 3 or 4) this map has been in development for over a year! This new Canadian map introduces new features – Mines and Ferry Lines – using cards that start out on the table from the onset and can be claimed anytime (just like Railroad Operations cards) for the right price!
