Gulf, Mobile and Ohio

Gulf, Mobile & Ohio is the third installment in Winsome Games's Historic Railroads System. In this exciting board game, players get to construct railroads in the southern United States that were operational between 1830 and 1860. The game board showcases cities from Richmond to New Orleans and from Memphis to Savannah. There are 23 different railroad lines in the game, each represented by two stock shares: a charter share for the player who establishes the railroad and a common share that can be auctioned later. Only the shares of the eight designated starting lines are initially available to players. The railroad lines are represented on the board by wooden cubes in six colors, with the number of cubes ranging from 6 to 32.

How to play: Start by getting the shares of the eight starting railroad lines. Then, start building your railroads on the board using the wooden cubes. You can try to found new railroads to get charter shares and participate in auctions for common shares. As the game progresses, keep expanding your railroad network across the cities on the board. Notice that there are 23 different railroad lines to explore. Things to note: When auctioning shares, make sure to bid wisely. Also, keep track of the number of wooden cubes you have for each color as the quantity varies from 6 to 32. Maintenance tips: Keep the wooden cubes away from moisture to prevent damage. Store the game board and pieces in a dry and safe place when not in use. This way, you can enjoy playing this game for a long time.
