1830™ Railways & Robber Barons - North East US
(6/CASE) (US SRP)
Build America's Great Railways
1830. It is the dawn of the "Age of Railroading" in America. You're
a wealthy investor and speculator betting that the new technology will
revolutionize transport. Commerce will no longer depend on rutted roads and
slow canals. Instead, it will ride the rails on swift, powerful "Iron
Horses."
1830 is an acclaimed railroad investment and building game covering
the years 1830 to present. You and your fellow players become the
stockholders of America's first railroad corporations. Since the largest
shareholder becomes president, you compete for control of the strongest firms.
As president, generate revenue by building track and buying and
operating trains-regardless of shareholders' needs. Meanwhile, you pay heed
to the volatile stock market. You strive to invest in flourishing companies
in order to earn healthy dividends. You try to buy stock in corporations
that are rising in value, collect strong, and sell before the stock values
drop.
1830 contains rules and components for Francis Tresham's original
classic design, as well as a host of exciting new variants. The 2-sided map
lets you develop the Eastern U.S. using different art. So, get ready to be a
railroad baron. Start investing and building.
