GMT hat ein weiteres 18xx in die P500-Liste aufgenommen:
Zitat von GMT Newsletter18XX players rejoice! Our first new P500 today is a new 18XX game! 18 India, designed by our friends at TraXX, brings you plenty that will be familiar plus quite a lot that will be new and exciting!
18 India is an operational railroad game for 2 to 5 people that plays in about 3 hours. The game is inspired by 1829 Mainline by Francis Tresham, and while the venerable Mr. Tresham created some novel mechanics for that game, many of them are not ideal for players that eschew in-game randomness. In 18 India, those random elements are transformed into an amazing level of pre-game variability, which gives each session of the game a different character. Critically, 18 India causes players to think differently about 18XX standards such as train management and investments.
The mechanics in 18 India include: track gauge changes, "Guarantee Companies," competition for commodity contracts, shares with exclusive rights to purchase, train trade-ins, a unique IPO display, and all track upgrades being available from the beginning of the game. By the way, trains do not rust, but there is certainly still a "train rush"!
