Description
18Ruhr is a railway game where players buy and sell shares in railway companies, with the goal of earning money by laying track, building stations, and running trains. This game is part of the 18xx series and offers a unique twist with the introduction of coal mines and steel mills, which are independent companies with their own shares. The interdependencies between the railway companies and the mines and mills reflect the development of the Ruhr during the 19th century, adding a layer of complexity and strategy to the game. With a playtime of 300 minutes and complicated rules, 18Ruhr is best suited for experienced players who enjoy economic and train-themed games. It supports 3 to 6 players, making it a great option for groups of friends or serious gamers looking for a challenging and immersive experience.
