1830 France (2010)

1830 is one of the most famous 18xx games. One of the things some gamers like about it is that the game has 'no chance' element. That is to say, if players wished to play two games with the same moves, the outcome would be the same. Players are seeking to make the most money by buying and selling stock in various share companies located on eastern United States map. The stock manipulation aspect of the game is widely-regarded as one of the best. The board itself is actually a fairly abstract hexagonal system, with track tiles placed on top of the hexes. Plus each 18xx title adds new and different elements to the game. This game features private rail companies and an extremely vicious, 'robber baron' oriented stock market. A game is finished when the bank runs out of money or one player is forced to declare bankruptcy, and the player with the greatest personal holdings wins.

This game is effectively 1830 on a new map. It has the same number of major companies and private companies as 1830, the tile mix is a close derivative of 1830's. and the private companies have the same powers as in 1830.
