Untitled[edit]

I've removed the link markers on David Watts' name -- he was being confused with another David Watts, and I believe the only notable thing this one did was invent 'Railway Rivals' so I don't think he needs an article. I've added much detail on how the game is played. I've also edited for style, and to remove both any suggestion that the game was invented in Germany or by Games Workshop, or that its original name was Dampfross.

--- Someone's obviously put the link back. Will remove.

David Watts created several games, including "Bus Boss" (similar to RR, but with pre-constructed routes, no hexes) and "City & Suburban" another hex-based rail development game. 87.113.177.37 (talk) 19:51, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier version?[edit]

I played a game similar to this in high school (c 1972) in the USA. We raced from the Mississippi River (IIRC) to the Pacific. We had six teams of students, representing two train companies, two towns, and two granges. Teams got points by connecting towns to RRs, farms to RRs, and for the amount of track laid. Failure to reach the ocean meant losing, IIRC (I know that my train company was Southernmost and ran a spur to the Canadian border, blocking the other team from the ocean). Is anyone else familiar with this game? 155.213.224.59 (talk) 19:37, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
