Description

Get ready to experience the ultimate train game with 18GM: The 18XX GameMaster, a classic game that's been delighting players since 1996. Designed by Colin Barnhorst and Kristopher Marquardt, this game is all about building networks and routes, managing stocks, and strategically placing tiles to outmaneuver your opponents. With a modular board that offers virtually endless scenarios, you'll never play the same game twice. Whether you're playing with a small group of friends or a large gathering of up to 9 players, 18GM is the perfect choice for anyone who loves economic and train-themed games. As you play, you'll encounter exciting features like Tycoons, which give you special abilities in the stock round, such as exceeding certificate limits or exchanging shares for a stake in the bank pool. You can also try your hand at buying on margin, paying half now and half later, or make a market by reducing the price of initial offering shares if your company remains unfloated. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of around 240 minutes, 18GM is a game that's easy to dive into, but challenging to master. So gather your friends, get ready to negotiate, and see who will come out on top in this thrilling game of strategy and skill.
