1830 Third Edition

This game takes the basic mechanics of Tresham's 1829 and adds several new elements. Players seek to make as much money as possible by buying and selling stock in various companies located on the map of the eastern United States. The stock manipulation aspect of the game is widely regarded as one of the best. The game board itself is actually a fairly abstract hexagonal system, with track tiles placed on the hexes. In addition, each 18xx title adds new and different elements to the game. This game features private railroad companies and an extremely vicious stock market, geared towards "robber barons". A game ends when the bank runs out of money or a player is forced into bankruptcy, and the player with the most personal assets wins.

This version contains the rules and components of Francis Tresham's original classic game, a faster base game, and new variations created by some of the world's best railroad game developers.
