The game uses 1829 Mainline as its inspiration and has enhanced the gameplay to reduce some of the luck factor of the original game.The game has 17 companies but a random selection of 9 are used in each game resulting in a different game each time that you play.The game follows the usual 18xx convention of a series of share dealing rounds followed by a number of operating rounds.Differences from a standard 18xx include 7 concessions which are auctioned prior to the second SDR and a variable financial market when companies operate.
