Cities of Martian Rails: Ether Relay

Martian Rails (2009), the crayon board game manufactured by Mayfair Games about railroading on the Red Planet in which players build tracks and haul freight in sleek trains with names like Spirit, Tweel and Viking, has a long list of interesting cities that players can capitalize on to generate revenue for their rail companies. For example:

Ether Relay – A small settlement near the Northern Icecap (northeast section). This settlement was initially started to support the wireless station that beamed signals to the outer worlds. It is ideally situated to transmit signals “upstairs."
