Union Pacific
Union Pacific is a train-themed stock market game. On each turn, players must choose between expanding a company to increase its value and adding a share of stock to their hand, or playing stock onto the table from their hand to increase their ownership of one or two companies. There are four semi-random scoring events, in which the first and second place share holder in each company are paid dividends. Only stock that has been previously played onto the table is considered during the scoring rounds. Union Pacific is a special company whose shares are claimed according to special rules. Union Pacific is not represented on the board but instead pays dividends to all share holders according to a fixed progression chart. Money is only used to track victory conditions and cannot be spent during the game. The winner is the player with the most money at the end of the game.

What the community says about Union Pacific
A nice train game in which you contribute to spread companies and at the same time, you try to have the majority of shares on them. It looks nice, but the railways are not so easy to identify, and each company can only use some of them, making a little bit uncomfortable to play.
Players: 4, 5, 3, 6. Económico, con trenes. Se sitúa entre el Ticket to Ride y el Chicago Express. Gran juego.
Gran juego para 6 jugadores que funciona muy bien. Debería jugarse con las cartas de dividendo homogeneamente distribuídas y con infinitas acciones de Union Pacific, para evitar que los primeros jugadores tengan mucha ventaja. Buenísima mecánica la de la dura elección de cada turno consistente en colocar trenes para aumentar ganancias o invertir en acciones para ganar dinero. Excelente idea la de no saber cuándo finalizará el juego. Contras: prefiero una columna de puntuación o jugar con fichas de poker antes que los billetes que retrasan mucho el juego. Turnos muy repetitivos. Los colores p
