My Review of the Game Eurorails which we played on this Thursday’s game night is available at Amazon.com here.
I have two quick YouTube videos available the first when we saw the game.
And the second a round-up of by the players who played, what they thought.
Bottom line, good game but too much luck.
Eurorails is a game is based upon the Empire Builder only with a European map and rules for the chunnel and ferries.
Eurorails by Mayfair Games $50 ($37 at Amazon)

Particularly when you offer free tables and space for Birthday parties.
We didn’t confine our interviews to management…
UPDATE: His name is Dylan not Ian my bad there.
The food is pretty good, but if you want something more substantial there is no shortage of restaurants nearby, but they don’t give you the free tokens that you earn for buying a Pizza.
There are more interviews, and a photo gallery below the jump
