Railway tycoon gameplay on Android

Sid Meier's Railroads! is a railway tycoon game for Android that mixes the look of a model train set with business strategy. You build a rail empire from the ground up and try to become the most successful railroad operator of its era. Google Play rates it for ages 3 and up.

The game suits people who enjoy empire-building games and train simulators. Its focus is on the money side of railways as much as the trains themselves.

Laying track and planning routes

You lay the track yourself and decide which cities and industries to connect. The goal is to carry passengers, raw materials and finished goods between them. Route planning and track layout form the core of play.

Routes are refined over time so that the network runs smoothly, according to the developer's description of the game.

Patents, stocks and owning industries

Profit comes from efficiency and business decisions. You can acquire patents, trade stocks, and either build new industries or buy existing ones. The developer describes competition with other tycoons for the title of greatest railroad baron of the age.

These systems sit alongside track building, so financial choices and network design affect each other.

Gold Rush start and the full game

The Gold Rush scenario can be tried before buying. Unlocking the full game is an in-app purchase. It adds more maps, more trains and 16 scenarios covering the golden age of rail.

The purchase is needed to reach the extra content, while the opening scenario is playable without it.
