Wabash Cannonball review

Wabash Cannonball is a surprisingly engaging game that transports players to the era of American railroad expansion. While the aesthetics may not be the most visually stunning, the gameplay itself is a fast-paced and exciting experience, especially with 3 or more players.

I found myself hooked by the strategic decision-making involved in each round. The constant balancing act between investing in shares, expanding railroads, and developing hexes keeps the game fresh and unpredictable.

The lack of luck-based elements in the game truly elevates the experience. It's all about strategic planning and skillful maneuvering, making each victory feel well-earned. The game's relatively short playtime, around an hour, also adds to its appeal.

If you're looking for a game that combines economic strategy with the thrill of competition, Wabash Cannonball is definitely worth checking out. Just don't expect it to win any beauty contests!
