Description
A Warpspawn card game for two players. Theme is the building of the transcontinental railroad in the 1860's; one player is the Union Pacific RR, the other is the Central Pacific.RR. The players draw from a common deck of 80 cards: 7 suites each symbolizing an aspect of railroad building (jobs, money, supplies, etc.), and a "difficulty" suite. Each attempts to make melds of cards in the same suite, or cards of the same rank number, or cards of sequential rank (E.g. "a straight" or "straight flush"), to garner "Railroad Markers." First to get 100 Markers built their line to Promontory Summit first.
