About Empire Builder
If you are an avid train gamer in the physical space, we hope you will enjoy our adaption of the board game to the digital game space.
Features to be included in the initial release include the following:
All of the game's resources, cities, demand cards and event cards, fully implemented in the digital game.
A select number of popular house rules. (TBD)
2-6 player multiplayer between Steam friends and those with a ZPG account.
A user interface that is designed to make the game play of the boardgame faster. Our goal is to get 4 player game play down to under an hour or 45 minutes for experienced players.
Tournament rules.
Current tournament approved map coming soon for the physical board game. (published by Darwin's Toys)
2009 map, cards and rules.
Planned features for after release.
MacOS support Xbox and controller support.
Additional languages.
This is the first in a series of Empire Builder games that we plan to release alongside Darwin's Toys' re-release of the physical board games. As avid players ourselves, this is a passion project; one we hope allows us to be able to play with our friends when getting together in person is less than ideal.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
A faithful adaptation of one of my favorite board games (or series). Looks and plays like the tabletop game, with an easy-to-learn (and use) interface. Discord or similar allows you to voice chat with your opponents. ALL versions/maps have the card features of the Latest editions of the EB board game series, which highlight were you can pick up every load on each demand card, as well as where the actual delivery point is. So learning the game series, or an unfamiliar map, is MUCH faster in this version of the game. (Or the Modern reprints of the tabletop version) FEATURES AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME: Eurorails, 4th edition. (Circa 2009-2025) Eurorails, 2004 (pre-chunnel) Multiplayer Autosave games - to save games from disconnects, or to allow resuming play in the future. Solo Challenge Mode - beat your best! (stat tracking) Tutorial Available New Maps are coming. Improvements to the game's assist functions are being actively worked on. Great game, and (IMO) only getting better!3 found this helpful
love it can't wait for the others3 found this helpful
Mimics the boardgame and rules, and plays well. Needs to introduce Player v. AI Player options (currently only allows for PvP and Solo Player (which is simply the player trying to navigate his/her opening hand)). Needs to introduce customizable options, such as amount needed to claim victory (currently capped at $250M). This is a railroad empire building and strategy game--does not need or utilize intensive sound or graphics such as would be required with a more common online game; this improves the game's accessibility to more players (more powerful computers not required).2 found this helpful
Great adaptation of the board game!!!1 found this helpful
A great online implementation of a classic rail game1 found this helpful
I really like this tabletop game. I was really excited when I found it here as a digital game. I had a lot of trouble with it at the beginning because it kept freezing going through the tutorial. After several attempts and eventually skipping the tutorial, I was finally able to play it until I tried to maximize the screen which caused it to stop responding again. I recommend the game for the game play style, but the technical functioning of the game leaves a lot to be desired.1 found this helpful
