奧拉寧堡運河於1832至1837年間建於德國奥拉寧堡。
在19世紀德國工業化的時期，這條運河是各式的商業貿易與工業活動的命脈，許多公路與鐵路也沿運河興建，而形成四通八達的運輸網路。
在《奧拉寧堡運河》的遊戲中，玩家將規劃與開發一片新的工業區。盡管發展初期開發計畫尚未明朗，玩家依然義無顧地從平地築起建築、完善基礎建設、鋪設小徑、道路與鐵路，同時也會慢慢地開鑿運河，更重要的是，修築連接建築的橋。
玩家透過幾個簡單的行動就能達成這些目標，但執行行動的時機才是重要的關鍵。
遊戲結束時，玩家將從建築、路線、泰勒以及剩餘的材料獲得聲望點數，加總於遊戲過程獲得的聲望點數後，聲望最高的工業區將被評選為最佳工業區。
《奧拉寧堡運河》也包含單人模式!
The Oranienburg canal, which gave this game its name, was built between 1832 and 1837 in Brandenburg. The Havel River was difficult to navigate near the Oranienburg mills, so a canal was built from the Havel that crossed the older Ruppin canal, thereby forming the Oranienburg canal cross. During the industrialization in the 19th century, lots of companies and businesses were formed at this important waterway. Moreover, additional streets and railways were built.
In Oranienburger Kanal, you erect new industries and shape the infrastructure by building pathways, streets, railways, and canals. Most important of all are bridges that connect buildings. To do all of this, you have access to various actions that you select in the right moments.
At the end of the game, the player with the best industrial area and the best infrastructure wins.
Oranienburger Kanal also includes a solo game!
