Stephenson's Rocket
Reiner Knizia expands his fleet of tile laying games with this game about colliding railroads in early 1800's England. There are seven different rail companies that players can expand. Each time you extend a rail, the other stockholders can veto your action, but it might cost them their shares. When two companies' rail touch, the railways merge to become one. The game is over when only one company remains or there are no rail tiles remaining, and the winner is the player who earned the most money over the course of the game.

What the community says about Stephenson's Rocket
Just one play, and I admit it was difficult to get the whole concept. But the game left me thinking, and the more I think, the more I see. Really different game among Knizia's, it is actually a kind of hidden majority game, very well disguised. Quite unique, certainly a game to be discovered much more deeply. I was quite impressed with my first game.
