🚂 WELCOME TO RAILS: THE ULTIMATE 18XX GAME ENGINE! 🚂

Are you ready to step into the shoes of 19th-century robber barons, manipulate stock markets, engineer ruthless hostile takeovers, and build the most lucrative railway empires in board gaming history?

Rails is the premier, open-source Java engine dedicated entirely to the deep, tactical world of the 18xx operational and economic strategic series. Whether you are running local shortlines or launching massive continental networks, Rails automates the heavy lifting of banking and track laying so you can focus entirely on outsmarting your corporate rivals.

⚠️ PROJECT UPDATE & NEW HOME ⚠️
To support the ongoing modernization of the engine, the vibrant 18xx community, and the implementation of massive new structural improvements, our active development has permanently moved!
