How it plays

Description from the publisher: Eddie Robbins has created an 18xx game for experts, set in Uruguay. As usual with our Winsome 18XX games, a copy of 1830 is required to play, largely due to the need for the tiles.

Description from the publisher: Eddie Robbins has created an 18xx game for experts, set in Uruguay. As usual with our Winsome 18XX games, a copy of 1830 is required to play, largely due to the need for the tiles. 1868 has a shorter playing time than 1830 and includes a number of little companies, a delayed fifth railroad and a bit of South American history. For 3-5 players for about 3 hours. Most money wins, of course.
