Our take on Railroad Corporation 2
The bounce point is likely the transition from laying tracks to balancing a working corporation. Once semaphores, junctions, staff, departments, accounting, loans, bonds, and commodity trading enter the workflow, players seeking a simple train-building game may stop engaging.
