Climb aboard the railways of the eastern United States. In 1830 Railways and Robber Barons Revised Edition you do not just lay track, you mainly play the game behind the game: buying and selling shares, and striking at exactly the right moment. This is a classic from the well known 18xx series, and many players see the share trading as the very best part of it. What makes it special? Luck plays no role at all. Everything comes down to your choices and those of your fellow players. On the hex-based board you place track tiles and build out your network step by step. Meanwhile you try to bring in as much money as possible with your companies and your shares, while keeping a close eye on what everyone else is doing. The game continues until the bank runs out of money or someone goes bankrupt. Whoever has the biggest fortune then wins. Expect a long, intense evening full of sharp moves and exciting choices, for 2 to 7 players who love depth and want to take their time for a real adventure.
