Description

Mankind has taken to the stars in massive ships and begun the rapid expansion and colonization of alien worlds. Through the deployment of Seed ships to the surface, settlements scatter across the worlds surface, all fulfilling their role while depending on others for the goods to survive until the world is sustainable. But mankind needs to help with this effort so several companies are competing to dominate the railways between these instrumental locations. Hitching your fortunes to theirs could establish your family as a force to be reckoned with for generations to come. There’s a new world of profits to be found in Our Manifest Destiny…

Train games are fun, and long. So Our Manifest Destiny delivers on a lot of what makes Train Games so fun in a shorter time span. Players draw and place a tile to expand the game board and establish one of the 5 companies footholds into those territories. Player's can pick up and deliver goods along the board, either fulfilling contracts or buying stock into new companies. All of this takes about 60-90 minutes but wait, there is more.

Gorgeous 3D models rendered out with photo backgrounds litter the Frontier Tiles.

Expansion Tiles add variety to the base game, along with a Stock card variant that adds a bit more chance to the game.

This game was playtested at Protospiel.
