(GAME SUMMARY)
|
|
|
| Drake says: "In Chicago Express, the B&O, C&O, Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads drive from the East Coast across the growing eastern US to Chicago. Smaller, more aggressive railroads like the Wabash spring up to further expand America's extensive railroads. The sharpest railroad executives vie for the maximum return on their investment in this business game lasting about one hour. "

| John says: "Chicago Express is a meatier train game than some of the more familiar games such as Ticket To Ride or Trans America. There is no luck factor. Best with 4 players!"
