Del afamado Alan Moon (Ticket to Ride, Capitol) Union Pacific es un juego muy recomendado en BGG, por muy conocidos gamers.
Valerie Putman, 10: "I'll only give one game a 10 rating--my absolute favorite game. No other game gets my adrenaline pumping like UP does. The _key_ to the game is the random scoring. I find myself humming "no whammies, no whammies, no whammies" as I spend just one...more...round...building. The tension is an intense rush!"
Morgan Dontanville, 9: Yes, this game is as good as everyone says it is. Sure, you can get some unlucky draws, and get completely hosed, but the tension is always high and the game has you gripped by your short hairs.
Scott Tepper, 9: Has a similar feel to Acquire, but for me, the decisions in Union Pacific are more angst-ful (which to me is a good thing)
Larry Chong, 9: One of the few games that works great for six players; I much prefer this over the classic Acquire.
Fue nominado como juego del año en 1999.
Está descontinuado, pero se anuncia una posible nueva edición e incluso rediseño temático, para 2007.
