18fl

This railroad finance game has players build and invest in Florida railways within a compact 18xx framework. Its smaller scope offers a gentler introduction, while still asking investors to manage companies and transportation growth.

18FL -- Railroads to Paradise Designer's intro from manual: 18FL is an 18xx game set in Florida. 18FL is a small 18xx game, in the style of Mark Derrick’s “one-state” games 18GA and 18AL, and is intended as a change from the more robust 18xx games often played. It is my hope that it may serve effectively as a “teaching game” as well, allowing new players a relatively benign introduction to the 18xx family of games.
