1880: China

Published 2010

An 18xx game by Helmut Ohley and Lonny Orgler set in China. As usual, players are railroad capitalists and operate in a stock market buying and selling shares, opening companies and trying not to go bankrupt. It's a big game even by 18xx standards, with a few innovations added to the system: - turn order for companies not changing with the evolving stock prices: it is set along with the par price when a player opens a company - A player-manipulated ratio of stock rounds and operation rounds: for an example, a new stock round occurs when the last of a type of train is bought. Released in Essen 2010
