The game is set in the Indian subcontinent during British Imperial India. It is described as "A game for engineers tired of financiers" and features technical challenges in building a railway network amidst hills, mountains, and the Himalayas, balanced against typical financial manipulations found in 18xx games. With a playtime of 4-7 hours, it is best suited for older players, and two small expansions were released in 1992 and reissued in 1999. An updated version was launched in October 2009 for its 20th anniversary, based on revised rules.
