- The Last Spike: Sunday at 10:00 AM
- Players cooperate to build a continuous railway from St Louis to Sacramento, seeking to accumulate the most money from land speculation before the "last spike" is laid. Building the great railways of the 19th Century was more about land speculation than engineering. The companies that financed and built the railways received land grants from the government, and investors made and lost fortunes speculating on the exact route a railway would follow. In The Last Spike, players cooperate to build a continuous railway from St. Louis to Sacramento, seeking to accumulate the most money from land speculation before the "last spike" is laid. Average playing time is one hour. We will be playing with a final prototype of the game, which will be released in September 2015.
