RailroadTreasures offers the following item:  Rail Baron Game of Building Railroad Empires. Damaged box.  Rail Baron Game of Building Railroad Empires.   Damaged box – see photo.     AH Avalon Hill Bookshelf Game #GA-295.  One of the first board games with a railroad theme.  Copyright 1977.    Three piece board, map of the United States.  You start with $20,000, one pawn (train) and two chips of the same color.  Build your own empire and collect $200,00 to win!   Included: 3 piece board, all 6 pawns (notice the black one is missing the top, the blue one has a broken top but the top is included if you want to glue it back together), ONLY 11 token (2 yellow, 2 green, 2 blue, 2 black, 2 white – 1 not shown in photo-, 1 red) 2 white and a colored die, rulebook, destination chart, payoff chart, play money, 6 express cards, 6 superchief cards, 28 rail line cards (most cards have not been separated- not all are shown in photo)Here, in BAIL BARON, you become a latter day Gould, or a Cornelius Vanderbilt, or any of those menacingly infamous moguls whose wizardry and acumen established the criteria for which business success was to be judged in decades to come.  RAIL BARON is played on a large board of the United States Railroad network. In fact, it comes in three separate boards. Laid end to end, it spells out America and portrays the 28 major rail lines and major cities they connected during the halcyon days of railroading. ~ You start with $20,000 – and a train. You make money on trips from city to, city. Pretty soon you’ve got enough money to build up your empire (you can buy the S&O and C&O for just $44,000). More holdings bring more money your way (track rental) from your opponents. ~ With many new nuances of strategy, it becomes a game where fortunes see-saw until the last rail baron is bankrupt or has accumulated the $200,000 needed to win.
