1830 Railways & Robber Barons (Revised Edition) A Masterpiece of Railway Empire Building and Investment Strategy Board Game

About the monumental 18xx series "1830 Railways & Robber Barons"

This is one of the most famous titles in the 18xx series of railroad games. This game is a full-scale railroad investment simulation set in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, and its name comes from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, which began operations on May 24, 1830. The 18xx series is highly regarded by board game enthusiasts worldwide for its deep strategic gameplay, combining railroad stock trading and line construction. "1830," in particular, is known for its sophisticated stock manipulation aspects. This Revised Edition is a fan-awaited update of the game first released in 1986.

Game Overview and Gameplay

Players take on the role of investors and directors of railroad companies, aiming to increase their wealth by buying and selling stock in various publicly traded companies located on a map of the eastern United States. The main goal of the game is to build as much personal wealth as possible. The game board is a relatively abstract one, consisting of a hexagonal grid, on which players place railroad tiles.

"1830" features private railroad companies and a stock market that allows for "robber baron" strategies. The game ends when the bank runs out of funds or one of the players is forced to declare bankruptcy. Ultimately, the player with the most personal wealth is declared the winner.

Features and attractions

The biggest feature of 1830 is that it contains absolutely no element of luck. This means that if a player plays two games with the same hand, the outcome will be the same. This creates a tense gaming experience that tests pure strategy and skill.

This game takes the basic mechanics of Francis Tresham's "1829" and expands on them with some new additions. Game mechanics include auctions/bidding, investment, market manipulation, and network and route building. With a playtime of 3-6 hours (180-360 minutes), it's a serious, engaging board game. Recommended for ages 12 and up, it can be enjoyed by 2-6 players.

Features of the revised version

This revised edition features significant component upgrades from the original, including new price markers, newly designed cards, a simplified rulebook, an updated color scheme, and many other improvements to enhance your playing experience. For example, cards now have a consistent front and back, and no longer feature different types of locomotives. These small improvements result in a smoother and better gaming experience.

For those who want to experience the thrill of investment and strategy in the railroad era and are looking for a board game that requires deep thought, 1830 Railways & Robber Barons is the ideal choice. A modern interpretation of a classic, it is an essential addition to any board game collection.
