Description Edit | History

1861 is an 18xx variant set in Russia. This is a game with a very limited print run; with only 300 copies intended for North American distribution. 1861's defining characteristics include: 16 minor companies that are put up for auction during stock rounds, minors having the opportunity to merge or convert in to major corporations, and a non-player controlled government railway.

More Information Edit | History

In early development phases, the game was called 18ME and was set in Middle Earth.
