Martian Rails

A crayon-rail game across the whole of Mars, on a sheet that wraps. Lay grade between mileposts, run freight against waybills, and be the first railroad to reach the charter figure with all five major cities standing on one connected system. The map is a cylinder cut at 180 degrees east: the eastern edge of the plate is the western edge, so the shortest alignment between two railheads is very often the one that leaves the sheet. Elysium and Olympus sit on opposite edges and are 28 apart across the seam. 1,740 mileposts, 178 settlements all named for and sited on real Martian features, 30 commodities, 150 waybills, four locomotives and three tempers of computer opposition.
