Finland
This map is designed for 3-6 players.
Game Parts
Finland map, these rules.
Map
There are two zones: Russia & Sweden. Track may not be built from a zone. Track built to a zone comprises a Completed Railroad Link.
The Finland map has many Impassable hexsides, representing huge lakes, shown as thick red lines. Track may not cross these hexsides.
Public track exists between the cities of Espoo and Helsinki. Another public track also exists between the cities of Helsinki and Vantaa.
Setup
Place 5 Goods in the Russia zone. Place 5 cubes in the ‘4 links’ box on the Income Track Display. Place 2 Goods in each City.
Move Goods
Using each public track (Espoo-Helsinki or Helsinki-Vantaa) to move Goods costs a locomotive link and provides no income increase.
Example: Kelly (blue) is delivering the Purple good from Lahti to Tampere. This requires a 4 link locomotive to complete, but they only gain 2 income on the Income Track. They cannot deliver the Blue Good from Tampere to Lahti, as it would have to stop upon reaching Helsinki.
[The example diagram, with numbered steps 1 to 4 and the Kelly (blue) route arrows, is not reproduced here.]
At the start of the game, the Russia zone accepts all color Goods. Goods may be moved from the Russia zone as normal. When a Good is moved to the Russia zone, remove one of the Goods in the Russia zone. If the Russia zone has no Goods, the Russia zone no longer accepts Goods.
The first player whose token moves into the ‘4 Links’ box on the Income Track Display immediately places the 5 cubes in that box on the Sweden zone. The Sweden zone now accepts all color Goods. Goods may be moved from the Sweden zone as normal. When a Good is moved to the Sweden zone, remove one of the Goods in the Sweden zone. If the Sweden zone has no Goods, the Sweden zone no longer accepts Goods.
Note: the two paragraphs beginning "At the start of the game, the Russia zone…" and "The first player whose token moves…" carry no heading on the printed sheet. They follow the Move Goods example in reading order and are placed under Move Goods here.
Portugal
Portugal is a map for 3 to 6 players.
Map
The thick red line between Lisboa and Setúbal is impassable, this represents the Rada de Lisboa.
Setup
Place 4 Goods cubes in Lisboa. Place 3 Goods cubes in Porto. Place 2 Goods cubes in the remaining Cities.
Select Actions

Goods Growth
If Lisboa has less than 3 Goods, draw and place Goods on Lisboa until it reaches 3 Goods.
