Americans are heading west. Some seek adventure, some to start a new life, still others to find work. Wagon trains heading out to settle new lands and build new cities. These new cities will need railroad lines to bring in new people and necessary goods. Finance your settlers as they head west to build the cities of tomorrow. Link these cities with rails of steel and operate your railroad to supply the townsfolk with goods. Settlers of America: Trails to Rails utilizes the familiar Catan hex-tile grid to present a map of the United States as players collect and trade resources, build settlements, forge railroads and acquire locomotives.
