1830 is one of the most famous 18xx games. One of the things some gamers like about this game is that the game has 'no chance' element. That is to say, if players wished to play two games with the same moves, the outcome would be the same also. This game takes the basic mechanics from Tresham's 1829, and adds several new elements. Players are seeking to make the most money by buying and selling stock in various share companies located on eastern United States map. The stock manipulation aspect of the game is widely-regarded as one of the best. The board itself is actually a fairly abstract hexagonal system, with track tiles placed on top of the hexes. Plus each 18xx title adds new and different elements to the game. This game features private rail companies and an extremely vicious, 'robber baron' oriented stock market. A game is finished when the bank runs out of money or one player is forced to declare bankruptcy, and the player with the greatest personal holdings wins.
Print this board and one additional token per company. Each round place the token on a circle with company income, find below payout for 1-6 shares. You can use the track also to quickly sum up the routes. Included income and payout table ranges 10-1000$, there is also a track only for 1010-1600$ range.
Print on the back-side of your track-tiles so that if you mix your tiles (say with an expansion, variant or playtest games), they can be easily sorted back out. A4 size.
Yet another from scratch redraw of the 1830 company bits. This version differs from the other redraws in that it uses (approximately) the original company colors.
This supersedes the previous version, with the following changes:
- Includes an initial offering chart
- Narrower charters, with cut-lines
- One extra token sticker / company, to use on an income chart
- Small cosmetic changes
