I think the problem with opening two companies in 1846 is that they both tend to be underfunded.Also,the ability to build twice as much isn't the compensating...

Hello all, Vaticon, the UCD Games Convention, is running on June 10-11th 2006 in the UCD Student Centre, Belfield. Due to a resurgence of interest in 18xx...

We got a chance to do more playtesting of my 18NE game and I have adjusted the rules a bit. I simplified the merger requirement for companies that achieve a...
