Colorado Midland

Gold and silver strikes have opened booming mines deep in the Rocky Mountains, and you're one of the mine owners racing to get the railroads there first. Colorado Midland is a pure strategy game — no dice, no luck — where players share incentives and form emergent alliances to build lines through forbidding alpine terrain before the richest mines are tapped out. Whoever profits most from their railway connections before the veins run dry wins.
