This is a text file with the results to an analysis of the outliers on the PayOff schedule printed with the original board-game.

This contains two spreadsheets (zipped so that they will fit on the site). Both are copies of a spreadsheet start on the instructions page and allow someone to determine the railroad pricing and pay-off charts for a home-made board. The first spreadsheet is blank for usage, the second has all of the information from the original 1977 board input into it as an example. Only for serious DIY'ers

This text file contains the pertinent information for use in making home-made boards.

This chart gives the original price, auction price, bank price, and government price for all the railroads.

This is a shortened version of an article published in Avalon Hill's General, volume 28, number 3.

This is a standalone executable Java program that handles home town choice, next destination choice and trip payout in a very easy way. It saves about an hour for a 4 player game and allows you to concentrate on more enjoyable play features such as moving and purchasing. I wrote this and am willing to supply the source code to anyone on request. After download: 1)double click the file. It should run as an application. 2)tell it how many players you have 3)type in the names of the players, one in each text box 4)press the "choose home city button" for each player. Place their markers on the city given. 5)Whenever a player needs to get a new destination press the "next destination" button. It will alert you if you get to choose which region to head for, and if so it will alert you if you miss a turn for rolling the city you are currently in. 6)When a player arrives at a destination just give them the indicated payout.

Just an attempt to speed up play a bit by allowing for more money and choice in what destinations you get. 4 copies of the card sheets should be about right (formatted for buisness card stock). Draw 3 at the start of the game and get one for each completed delivery.
