Second Printing of American Rails Coming

Designer Tim Harrison is prepping a second printing of his American Rails, with only sixty copies of the game being available. (3-5 players, ages 14+, 90 minutes, $32 after a 20% preorder discount) Here’s a game description from the designer:

In American Rails, each player assumes the role of a wealthy capitalist managing a portfolio of stocks and bonds in six fictional railroad companies. Through ruthless negotiation and rigorous planning, players struggle to increase the value of their holdings and reap the profits. The player with the most money at the end of the game will become the nation’s first railroad baron and win the game.

English rules are available through Harrison’s website, which also features a preorder page for the game, which should be available before the end of April 2010.
