Description

Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure through the African continent with 18Africa, a game designed by Jeff Edmunds that's perfect for 2 to 7 players. This economic game, published in 2014, is part of the 18xx series and offers a unique twist on the classic gameplay. With its complex rules, 18Africa may take some time to learn, but the payoff is well worth the effort. A typical game can last around 240 minutes, giving you plenty of time to strategize and outmaneuver your opponents. What makes 18Africa truly exciting is its dynamic gameplay, which combines stock holding and tile placement mechanics.

The game follows a series of share dealing rounds and operating rounds, with a few surprises thrown in, such as the auction of 7 concessions and a variable financial market. This adds a layer of unpredictability, making 18Africa a challenging and engaging experience for fans of economic and train-themed games. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a new challenge, 18Africa is sure to deliver hours of entertainment and excitement.
