The fifth game in Winsome’s Prairie Railroads Series.

An economic railroad building gamer’s game, Veld Railroads takes place in South Africa during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. Players bid for stock in the six available rail lines, construct track, and develop the settlements of South Africa. Historical events such as the growth of Johannesburg and the Boer war are built into the game system. The game ends after the eighth dividend payoff and the player with the most money wins.

The previous games in the series are Ferrocarriles Pampas (1996), Veld Spoorweg (1998), Prairie Railroads (1999), and Pampas Railroads (2001). Note that this is a different game from “Veld Spoorweg,” which also takes place in South Africa.
