Irish Gauge

It's a beautiful day on the Emerald Isle and over the green hills we see a puff of dark smoke. Is it fire? No, we hear a whistle. It's a 3pm train from Dublin, entering our station with a crash of brakes and the hum of steam.

Irish Gauge is a game about building a railroad in Ireland. Savvy investors use their special interests to bring railroads to their companies. Irish Gauge is a simple rules game with a variety of strategies and tactics for 3-5 players aged 12 and over.

During your turn, you can bid on shares of any available company, build railroad tracks in one of the companies, upgrade a small town to a town, or ask for a dividend payout. Upgrading cities and demanding dividends affect the length of the game as well as the likelihood of companies paying dividends in the future. The game will end when a certain condition is met. The player with the most money and share value wins! Irish Gauge is the inaugural title in the Iron Rail series.
