The outline includes an opening hook, a step by step outline on a suggested order in which to teach the meat of the rules and some beginning strategy.

These are the demand cards and load tokens for the South American Rails game.

This is the map for my South American Rails game.

PDF File for printing on Avery 5167 Return address Labels (80/sheet) My Game was missing many of the load tokens, so, using this image: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/250451/empire-builder I created a file I could print on the Avery Labels. The Labels were wrapped around pennies. Not beautiful, but without this fix, I never would have discovered that this is my favorite game. I sliced and diced, manipulated, and crashed my computer several times, but eventually I managed to create a PDF with a reasonable file size, so here it is.

Updated my Chicago Rails file. I corrected all the spelling errors (at least all the ones my wife caught). I added two rivers (Fox and Des Plaines). I also added 20 event cards. Comments are welcome.

This is a Variant to Empire Builder of the Chicago Area. I've included the innerworkings of the game design that would allow anyone else to design a game for any area.

File contains the rules to be able to play a SoloPlay variant for Empire Builder. The game plays quickly, in about an 60-90 minutes. It will challenge the experienced Empire Builder player. All attempts have been made to give this variant a high level of variability in the play.

Updated, added Martian rails, changes from new edition EuroRials

Updated, added web published African Rails and German Rails games

Corrected vertical alignment. This is the goods reference page from the 2008 edition rule book. You can print it front and back and then cut down the middle to get 2 reference sheets per page.

Excel sourcefile to the Playsheet PDF; with this, a player can use the values from the contracts in calculations on optimal routing, connections, and any other desired algorithms for advanced play.

Compilation of demand cards organized by city. Each city is listed individually with production and demand cargoes; each demanded cargo is then referenced to the cities in which it is produced.

A very useful table listing cities producing each kind of good, goods produced by each city and geographic areas for locating cities on the board. It's an Acrobat (PDF) document.
