Overview

Flagler is a turn-based strategy game for two or more players, set in the era of railroad expansion in the United States. Players compete to build the most profitable railroad empire by laying track, acquiring locomotives, and hauling freight.

Gameplay

The game is played on a hexagonal map of the United States, with each hexagon representing a potential location for a railroad station or track. Players take turns performing actions, such as:

* Laying track: Players can connect adjacent hexes with track to form railroad lines.

* Acquiring locomotives: Players can purchase locomotives, which allow them to haul freight and generate income.

* Hauling freight: Players can use their locomotives to haul freight between cities, earning money for each successful delivery.

* Blocking opponents: Players can place track or stations in strategic locations to block opponents from expanding their networks.

Objectives

The objective of Flagler is to build the most profitable railroad empire. Players score points for:

* Connecting cities with rail lines

* Hauling freight between cities

* Owning valuable stations and railroads

Winning

The game ends when all players have placed all their track or there are no more profitable freight routes available. The player with the most points wins.

Strategy

Winning in Flagler requires careful planning and strategy. Players must consider the following factors:

* Map layout: The map layout determines which cities are accessible and which routes are most profitable.

* Track placement: Strategic placement of track can block opponents, create profitable loops, and access valuable resources.

* Locomotive acquisition: Acquiring the right locomotives is essential for hauling freight efficiently.

* Freight hauling: Maximizing freight revenue requires careful planning and coordination of locomotive movements.

* Competition: Anticipating and countering the strategies of opponents is crucial for success.
