Educational Potential
It is a simulation game based on the USA in 1830. It deals with the necessary implementation of a railway network for the industrial development of that country.

This game allows students to explore the design, implementation, and expansion of a transportation network both at the state and at local levels. The country's industrial progress will depend on the success of the network.

The player will face challenges in terms of geographic design, network maintenance, R&D investment and management of competing companies.

At the same time, it will also be possible to create a passenger transport network and explore how it affects the expansion of the population and the economy of different populations connected by the railway network.

Urban and geographical issues should be taken into account in the design of the network. Design decisions will have an effect on the perceptions of city rulers. The transport of all kinds of goods and people will depend on the design of our network.
