18XX Train Games
Der Spielenzentrum (map)
With the success of our November '09 18XX day, I'd like to schedule a recurring 18XX-specific theme day for the 2nd Saturday of every odd-numbered month.
The games I have on my 18XX shelf include 1830 (x2), 18AL (x2), 18GA, 1870, 1848 Australia, 1835, 1886 Nagoya, 1856, and now, 1853. I might also have a home-made copy of 18EU done by then, but we'll see. I'm also working on a "mega-variant," "Advanced 1830" that includes many more features to enrich the financial aspects of the game, such as loans, mergers & acquisitions (friendly and hostile), realistic IPOs, expanded layout, and fifteen different public companies. Yowza!
Many 18XX games can take 5-6 hours to complete, but some are much shorter and can be completed in 2-3 hours. Both types will be available, and we'll have a couple of tables available. These games can comfortably handle 3-5 players each, and some can include up to 7 players. So, if you enjoy thought-provoking strategy games with a heavy dose of economics, stock markets, and/or you just like trains, you need to make a point of coming!
We'll have beverages and snacks available, and we'll take a dinner break around 5:00-5:30. We'll probably start off with one of the "full-featured" (and longer) 18XX titles at 11:00, then we'll either continue or play one of the shorter 18XX games in the evening session.
See you there!

Chris FawcettEvent HostOrganizerHad three games going on at once: Advanced 1830, 1870, and 18AL. We had some newcomers and some old hands for this session, and I think a good time was had by all! -
