1838 Rheinland is an 18xx game designed and self-published by Wolfram Janich.
It is intended to be a short game, obviously located in the area of one of the most industrial area of Germany, the Rhine valley from Bonn to the RuhrGebiet (Essen).
- mainly a variant of 1835 (trains X+x, last share is 20%, nationalization, corporations floated with 50%) with 1830: The Game of Railroads and Robber Barons features (stock market, privates auction)
- 6 corporations
- the Rhine can only be crossed in a few places in main cities (this represents the fact that the Prussian army did not allow, for defense reasons, the building of bridges over the Rhine)
- special bonuses: coal mines and steel mills
- small map (around 60 hexes)
A revised version has been published as 18Rhl - Rhineland.
