	Description Edit \| History

This is the first of four games from Martin Wallace published in the Spielbox magazine No. 92 (edition 2/2011).
It is a Railroad game placed in south England. The game objective is to connect cities in the railroad.
This first magazine comes with the board, rules, one start player marker and 222 tiles for the game. Those tiles will be used also in the next three magazines with the other Wallace games.
The player must provide only the dice in order to play.
