The Box (heavy and save place to all game elements):
All game components:
The board: really thick and great looking:
Nice design elements:
Many informations are on the board, you don’t need to look to instruction before play:
Stock market:
Tiles are very thick:
All tiles:
Cards: one of the best ever made in 18xx games, really thick ones:
And the trains:
Companies tokens:
Money, really nice, but better use poker chips:
Companies charters, very thin, you need to protect them:
Tiles are the same size as pattern on the board (some 18xx players prefer 5% smaller ones):
The revenue chart on board could have got better funcionality:
I prefer to use this one (you can download it here (https://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/147294/revenue-share-table):
To protect companies charters you can use binding covers, fast and simple way, not only for 1846 😉
