The Last Spike*
Players collaborate to construct a continuous railway from St. Louis to Sacramento in The Last Spike. Each player has track tiles with specific positions and costs, and they compete to earn money through land speculation before the final spike is placed. Players lay their tiles on the board, potentially earning certificates for cities connected by the railway, while also aiming for bonuses when completing the track. The game ends when the railway is complete, and the player with the most cash wins.
