The quick, cube-rails game Rail USA — one of three titles in Winsome Games 2014 Essen Set — shares some similarities with SNCF, a.k.a. Paris Connection. Each round, a player acquires a share of one company, builds track in existing companies, then delivers goods along that track. Each round, a new company enters the mix. The track-building and goods deliveries trigger payouts, and the player with the most money at the end of six rounds wins.
