Railways of the World (originally Railroad Tycoon) is a railway-themed board game designed by Martin Wallace and Glenn Drover and published by Eagle Games. It is a simplified version of Wallace's earlier railway-themed game Age of Steam. The game, first released in 2005, was originally named Railroad Tycoon after the video game series of the same name, featuring box art based on the third entry in the video game series. After the license to use the Railroad Tycoon name expired, the board game has been published under its current Railways of the World title since 2009. It takes place in the eastern United States in 1830. Each player takes charge of a pioneering new railway company.
