''Tracks to Telluride'' is a railroad board game centered on the construction of railroad track, and servicing mines along those railroad tracks. The setting of the game is in southwestern Colorado during the mining boom of 1873 through 1888. The game was developed by John Bohrer with playtesting by the Edgewood Gaming Group and the Pittsburgh Smoking Engineers.〔''Tracks to Telluride: Rules of Play'', p. 2; ''Advanced Tracks to Telluride Extension Set'', p. 24〕 The first release was called ''Colorado Rails''. == History == In the early 1980s, John Bohrer played a lot of war games. "One guy brought by a game he had gotten as a gift from his girlfriend called ''Rails through the Rockies''." They played the game and found some shortcomings. Bohrer researched railbuilding in that region and era. He significantly revised the rules, used the ''Rails through the Rockies'' map and called the new game ''Rocky Mountain Rails''.〔''Advanced Tracks to Telluride Extension Set'', p. 23〕 :After further research I developed my own map; it eliminated eastern Colorado so that I could concentrate on western Colorado's mines and geography. I combined this map with probabilistic pass completion system :The historical event deck contains actual events, and I used this as a vehicle to illustrate the trials and tribulations these CEO's had in building the railroads, and to help the struggling railroads (1/3 of the deck) and to offer character building experiences (1/3 of the deck) to the powerful railroads. Some gamers call this the "hysterical event deck". I have kept it out of ''Advanced Tracks to Telluride'' at the request of the tournament players. ''AT2T'' will give them other acts of God to contend with, not the least being the weather.
