Description
1830: The Coalfields by Alan Moon, published originally in Games International number 6 (and republished in the Train Gamer’s Gazette volume 2, number 2 and in Rail Gamer Magazine #7), expands 1830: Railways & Robber Barons, an 18xx game. It adds the Norfolk and Western Railroad; an extra portion of the board; two 7 trains; off-board connections that can be the center of a run, instead of the end; and suggests several other changes to the rules of play, including rules for combining it with 1830: Take A Ride on the Reading.
