1830: The Coalfields by Alan Moon, published originally in Games International number 6 (and republished in the Train Gamer’s Gazette volume 2, number 2 and in Rail Gamer Magazine #7), expands 1830: Railways & Robber Barons, an 18xx game. It adds the Norfolk and Western Railroad; an extra portion of the board; two 7 trains; off-board connections that can be the center of a run, instead of the end; and suggests several other changes to the rules of play, including rules for combining it with 1830: Take A Ride on the Reading.
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. US-Letter size.
This combines the Coalfields expansion with my americana style 1830 map. Coastlines and typographic style are taken from a 1857 map scanned by the Library of Congress.
Each part is designed to print on a tabloid-size (11x17) sheet, with some white space. You can simply print on glossy white cardstock, as I do, and trim the white borders off, and tape your new map together - easy folding game board. Or, print on something thinner and mount on some sort of artboard, for a sturdier game.
Shares and tokens made to match my 1830 shares. Those shares are meant to compliment the 1830 redesign by Nils, which is available on this site. My shares have a more traditional lokk, and may easier for some players to identify at a glance. The colors have been chosen to avoid confusion with any of the shares for the base game.
Map additions, new tiles, new trains, charter/tokens/stock certificates for the Norfolk & Western Railroad and the rules for adding Alan Moon's Virgina Coalfields to your 1830 game. Also includes information on combining the Reading variant with the Coalfields.
