Bindle Rails is a an engaging one and two player game that models railway building in the Northeastern United States in the 1800's.  Your object is to build out your railroad to various connections, manipulate the stock market and invest in new technologies to acquire at least 50 Victory Points over the course of six turns.  Your options and goals change with each play of the game.  Bindle Rails was designed for solo play, however, is suitable for play for two.

Bindle Rails may be downloaded for free as a print and play game at any time, the files for which be found below.  If you would like to have a published version of the game, you have three editions to choose from.

First Print Run:  Bindle Rails will be self-published in April and probably sooner than that.  A limited run of 25 games will be produced.  If you choose to preorder the game from this initial print run, you have the option of having your name printed as a contributor in the rulebook.  A personal note of thanks will also be included with your game.

  To assemble the game, it is recommended you acquire at least 10 sheets of letter-sized or A-sized card stock.  The mats are meant to be printed out in whole.  The cards may be cut by using a standard paper trimmer or scissors.  A rounded corner punch can make shuffling cards easier.  Almost any handful of small household items (buttons, coins, beads, etc.) can be used as markers.
