The map is divided into seven regions, Northeast, Southeast, North Central, South Central, Plains, Northwest and Southwest. Major US cities which are connected by the railroads act as destinations for travel. Dots on the railroad routes represent small towns along the way, and serve as distance markers for player movement. </p><p>The goal of each player is to accumulate money by moving his or her train token to map destinations which are generated at random via a lookup table. Large cities like <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York</a> and <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> are more likely to be generated as destinations than small cities. Travel from one destination to the next is accomplished by rolling dice to determine distance that can be moved. Players then move their train token along map dots toward their destination. </p><p>Upon arrival at a destination, the player collects a cash payoff, and may use the money to upgrade his or her train engine to a faster model, or purchase a railroad. Railroad purchases are key to the game because an owner collects substantial fees from other players who ride his or her railroad during their movement. Meanwhile, the owner can ride his or her own railroads at no cost. Thus, an important decision in the game is whether to buy a variety of railroads in order to gain access to all areas of the map for oneself, or to buy railroads in a given area in order to monopolize it and collect the valuable use fees from opponents. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Winning">Winning</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rail_Baron&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Winning"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>To win the game a player must accumulate $200,000 and then make a daring run back to their home city (their first city in the game) before any opponent can catch them via what is known as a rover play. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Railroads">Railroads</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rail_Baron&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Railroads"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The 28 railroads depicted in the game correspond to 28 actual real-life railroads that operated in the early 20th century.

The "Home Swap" lets players switch the home city and first destination before moving for the first time in case their first destination is an easily monopolizable one, or if they want to try to get a better home city. "Free Superchief" lets players upgrade to a SuperChief engine at no cost if they already have an Express engine; this both speeds the game and lessens the dominance of the Pennsylvania RR. </p><p>Fans of the game have created dozens of alternate maps for play. There now exist game maps of <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a>, <a href="/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</a>, and many other locations, as well as fictional regions.
