Description Edit | History

'Canal Mania' was released in 2006 and is the attempt to have an entire Ragnar Brothers designed game produced for us by 'the professionals' - in this first instance by Ludofact.

It's a game about the great Canal building era of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that captures the feel of the period and gives players plenty of decision making in their attempts to complete some of the most famous British canals.

Players will engage brilliant engineers such as James Brindley and Thomas Telford in their efforts to create canals linking emerging manufacturing centres, providing the waterways that supplied the goods generated by the Industrial Revolution.

5 Custom Erie Canal and Hudson River Contracts
These are the contracts the go along with the custom Erie Canal and Hudson River Valley map that I made. The majority of the contracts are based on historical canals, but there are some that had to be made up to balance the map and fill in gaps.
