Description

18BF is a game in the 18xx series set in Great Britain.

A game of route building and running trains to make money. The player with the most assets (cash and share value) at the end wins.

Corporations start out small and grow into larger ones through growth, merger and/or acquisition. Then, later in the game, these larger corporations can merge to form systems: the "Big Four".
