Finally GMT Games announced, that new 18xx will be 1833NE (which was recently known as 1834) by Tom Lehmann!
That was announced few minutes ago, and there are 199 orders so far! I guess, that it will reach 500 copies soon 🙂
Info from GMT website:
In 1833NE, 3-5 tycoons compete to earn money and build the best stock portfolio by investing in and operating railroads within New England and Montreal, Canada.
As a bonus, 1833NE will contain an 1846 mini-expansion: 2 new Private Companies to add more variety. These will be included in the 1846 2nd Edition reprint and made available separately for 1846 1st edition buyers who don’t purchase 1833NE. Enjoy!

Yes, 199 is so yesterday. One day later and it is up to 419…
I must say that GMT has been pretty successful with their 18xx games. (Despite the reprint of 1846 seems to have a hard time.) Will GMT continue with new titles? Maybe becoming the major publisher when it comes to 18xx?
