Well Marty, Railroad Tycoon is a good game and Dave has a copy. Its out
of print although there are copies floating around - Gameslore did have
a copy the end of '06. Imperial is one of the hot games at the club but
i think at least two players have it already.

If i was going to recommend a 'big' game then i'd go for Indonesia.

(just my tuppence worth).
