Grand Trunk Games LLC is a small publishing house dedicated to making 18xx games available, affordable, and approachable.
The goal of Grand Trunk Games LLC is to remove the existing barriers to entry, allowing for more folks to discover and enjoy the wonderfully thought-provoking games inspired by Francis Tresham's 1829.
Grand Trunk Games was started because I think there are many who, like me, believe 18xx is some intangible gaming experience when in reality its reputation precedes it. 18xx has an incredible depth and room to explore all sorts of strategies, but many are too afraid to give it a go just because either they believe the games are “above their level”, too long, too expensive, or they wouldn’t want to try it without a teacher.
I’ll be using Grand Trunk Games to remove these barriers to entry so more folks can discover and enjoy 18xx. I plan to do that by making more titles available at a competitive price point, providing in-game content to make titles easier to learn, having full teach-and-playthrough tutorial videos available online, and more.
