Description
18OE: On the Rails of the Orient Express is a massive game that spans the entire European continent, where 2 to 8 players take on the challenge of building railway companies and guiding the iconic Orient Express from western capital cities to Constantinople. With five types of companies to invest in, players must navigate complex rules and strategies to come out on top. As players buy and trade stock, the value of their holdings will fluctuate, earning them dividends and influencing the actions of the companies they invest in. With a playtime of 12 hours, this game is not for the faint of heart, but shorter scenarios are available for those looking for a more condensed experience. Designed by Edward Sindelar and published in 2014, 18OE is a true test of economic and strategic prowess, requiring players to balance risk and reward in pursuit of victory.
