Great, buy one of these systems and you too can hear your 5.1 DVDs on 17 speakers! Why am I suddenly having flash back to the old Quadraphonic sound systems or the 60's and 70's?
There is a whole series of railroad management games published by Mayfair games. The best of the lot is Eurorails. This is an outstanding game. You draw your rail network on the game board as the game progresses, trying to manage cargos with rail building cost and reusability of the rail, and trying to compete for access to mountain passes and other limited access areas. Picture Railroad Tycoon, but in a well balanced multi player board game format. The average game lasts about 2 hours and plays well with 3 or more players.
The other rail games in the series are a mixed lot. Nippon Rails is very difficult. Australian Rails fairly good. Empire Builder (North America Rails) is a bit too easy. Iron Dragon (the fantasy version featuring orks and trolls and such) and a fun diversion. Out of the all, Eurorails is the most balanced and has the most replayability.
