Place the stock market board nearby to track company share values. Hand out the player aids and reference sheets to each player to help them understand the rules and strategies.
Each player starts with some paper money and currency tokens. Use the 210 track tiles to build and upgrade railway routes on the map. The wooden tokens represent train stations, shares, and other game elements. Draw cards from the 253 - card deck, which include company shares, train cards, and operational elements.
