	Description Edit \| History

David V. H. Peters' SNCF (Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français), a 3-6 player game lasting 30 minutes, is a simple but compelling railroad game that covers all of France. Through the use of company expansion and additions to your portfolio, the goal is to earn more than your fellow rail barons over the course of the game.

Originally released by Winsome Games as part of its 2010 Essen Set, SNCF was subsequently licensed by Queen Games and rereleased as Paris Connection in 2011.
