GTM #199 - Return of the Iron Dragon
by Mayfair Games

The classic Empire Builder series of train games has taken players around the world and beyond — from North America to India, Europe to Japan, and India to the Martian desert. And soon, players will be able to return to a magical land of steampunk, dragons, and trains with Iron Dragon!

In Iron Dragon, players will not only have to build the most efficient train routes and satisfy the trade demands of various cities, but they’ll also need to contend with events suitable to a fantasy setting full of wonder and intrigue. The world of Iron Dragon is populated by humans, but also trolls, elves, genetically engineered dragons, and cat folk. Trying to keep your deliveries running on schedule takes on a whole new challenge when you also have to contend with magical tempests, vampire attacks and winged demons from the underworld.

Both the trains and commodities are also suitably fantastic, with cities demanding goods from the mundane (wheat, ale, and steel) to the magical (potions, spells, and wands). In the end, it comes down to cold, hard cash, as the player with the most Wizard Certificates will win the day. So strap into your Iron Dragon and prepare for the ride of a lifetime! No, seriously, buckle up; the town crier says there’s a peasant revolt in Opal Bezin!

About Iron Dragon: Iron Dragon was designed by Darwin Bromley, Tom Wham, and the Empire Builder Design Team for 2-6 players, ages 12 and up. Games take between 120 and 240-minutes.
