Our Expert Score

86/100

Steam: Rails to Riches is an excellent adaptation of the board game. The developers did a great job of translating the complex economic systems into a mobile-friendly interface. It's a 'thinking person's' gameโ€”you really have to plan your routes and manage your cash flow carefully or you'll go bankrupt before the mid-game.

The AI is surprisingly competent and will definitely punish your mistakes. For fans of heavy strategy and logistics, this is a must-have. Itโ€™s deep, rewarding, and offers plenty of replayability with different maps and strategies.
