Rio Grande Games Northern Pacific

• Northern Pacific is a board game designed for 2-4 players.
• The game simulates the building of the Northern Pacific railroad in the late 19th century.
• The objective of the game is to accumulate the most points by constructing track, shipping goods, and investing in cities and industries.
• The game includes a modular board representing the western United States, with different cities, industries, and resources.
• Each player starts with a set of investment cards, which can be used to invest in industries and cities, providing bonuses and benefits throughout the game.

We first started thinking of starting Rio Grande Games because we believed that family strategy games, which are based on offering players choices instead of asking them to rely on luck, are games that should be available to players. We knew such games were successful in Germany and wanted to make them available to people in the US. After some investigation, we decided to begin publishing English versions of these choice games so that English-speaking players could enjoy them, so we launched the Rio Grande Games to do just that.
