1830: Railroads & Robber Barons

1830: Railroads & Robber Barons (1995)

Genres:Strategy, Simulator
Themes:Business
Story:1830 is a railroad game set in the northeastern United States and southern Canada. You assume the identity of a railroad “Baron” and act as “President” of one or more Railroad Corporations. Your goal is to earn money. Money is earned mainly through owning shares of stock in the eight Railroad Corporations. Stock shares make money in two ways-they can provide ready cash via dividend payments, and they can increase in value. If you’re the single largest stockholder in a Railroad Corporation, you become its President and operate its railroad, ideally, but not necessarily, for the benefit of all stockholders. The game ends when either: 1. A Baron goes bankrupt; or 2. The Bank runs out of money. The winner is the wealthiest Baron at game end.Show more

I loved this PC conversion of a popular Avalon Hill board game. Each railroad had its own theme music that played during its turn. I made what was a multiplayer board game accessible to solo gamers.
