Many people use the virtual world to do a number of the same activities that they experience in life such as work, networking with friends and acquaintances, research, watching television or movies and playing games. If you'renot interested in fantasy fiction, however, you might want to stick with theearthbound rail games like Eurorails and Empire Builder.Free Games Online No DownloadThe internet provides a whole world right on your computer separate from the physical realm we live in but with many of the same attributes. If youlike fantasy fiction and the crayon rail games, you'll love this one. Whether this game is worth spending $35 on will depend on the player. It is entirely possible to play a successful game of Iron Dragonwithout ever connecting to two or three of the major cities. The rules require players to connect 7 of the 8 major cities in order to win,but while in Empire Builder players usually connect the major cities naturallyin the course of the game, in "Iron Dragon" it feels more like an artificialrequirement. A typical game of IronDragon takes three to four hours, much longer than Empire Builder. Also, most commodities areonly available in one narrow area (as opposed to Eurorails, in which manycommodities are available in more than one region). The map is larger than usual for a Mayfairrail game, and the major cities are widely scattered. This can be a cheap,efficient way to deliver loads early in the game, without building muchtrack.
Players can build track to and from seaports, and hire ships (withvarying speeds) to ferry their trains from port to port.
For example, a player using an elf foreman can buildto forest mileposts for 1 gold piece (instead of 2). Each foreman has hisadvantages for the player. Every player gets a foreman, who belongs to one of the races(human, elf, orc, troll, dwarf, wee folk, cat man). The underworld terrain also has special buildingrules. In addition to the usual clear, mountain and alpine, Iron Dragon also adds underworld, rock, forest, desert and jungle terrain, eachwith an extra building cost. The differences that affect game play are: The commodities include wands, spells and armor,and the trains are harnessed dragons. Unlike its predecessors, it's set in a fantasy worldpeopled with elves and trolls.
Like Empire Builder and all the other Mayfair rail games ( Eurorails, Australian Rails, etc.), Iron Dragon has a large map for a board, withmileposts marked in a grid. Iron Dragon, the latest crayon rail game from Mayfair, is yet anothervariation on the classic "Empire Builder" with several new concepts thrown in tokeep it interesting.
