Description

In the late 19th century, Bengal became a key hub for railway expansion in British India, surpassing earlier developments elsewhere in the country. The East Indian Railway Company led the charge, beginning with the Howrah–Hooghly line in 1854. Driven by strategic, economic, and export needs, the rail network rapidly spread across the region. By century's end, Bengal had one of India's most extensive and vital railway systems, powering both commerce and colonial control. In Movers & Shakers, you play as a railway magnate in 19th-century Bengal, competing to transport goods, fulfill contracts, and invest your profits wisely. Over two rounds, you'll use your own and rival trains to move crates between Benares and Calcutta, aiming to build wealth through sharp planning and bold decisions. Only the most ambitious and efficient tycoon will rise to shape the future of Bengal's railways.
