1832 stock price defense mechanism

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 22/10/202022/10/2020 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

This title had to wait over a year for the first game, but it was worth to wait, it’s a very good one with a unique mechanism of defending the share price. This mechanics appeared in 1870 already, in a…

1828 first (very good) impression

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 01/10/202001/10/2020 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

We haven’t written about 1828 yet, it’s a pity, but better late than never. The author is J.C. Lawrence and the game is only available in print-n-play version. I know that the author made a few copies that could be…

18Chesapeake – first impression

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 05/07/2020 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

The last traditional meeting with 18xx we had in March. Then we played 1882 and shortly after I described my impressions. It’s been three months since then. And if it wasn’t for the new online gaming platform we’ve been dating…

Some thoughts on 1817NA

Posted by Galatolol on 01/06/202018/09/2020 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

1817NA is an 1817 variant, currently being playtested, designed by Marc Voyer (known for 1882). Its objective is to make the game shorter and more suitable for lower player counts. I’ve played 1817 6 times, 18USA once and 1817NA 5…

1840 Vienna Tramways – Draft rules first impressions

Posted by Michał (Elemele) on 21/04/202021/04/2020 in Announcements / Zapowiedzi, First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

I was curious how it game will look likes when I’ve heard that there will be tramways instead of trains. I wasn’t sure that I want something different from other 18xx titles and that’s why didn’t back that Lonny’s project…

18Traxx 2020: Great Plains Railroading first impressions

Posted by Galatolol on 20/04/2020 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

I was asked to make a spreadsheet for 18Traxx 2020: Great Plains Railroading, one of five games recently released by 18TraXX Games. Not the easiest task if you’ve never played the game, so I quickly put up a basic sheet…

The Rails in Canada: 1882

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 26/03/2020 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

Now this title you can preorder from All-Aboard Games, but a month ago, you could bought this game only directly from the author (Marc Voyer), the list of orders was supposedly long and I have been waiting for a copy…

18Rhl first impressions

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 17/12/2019 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia

Our 18xx group is still growing and we recently have two more 18xx players who met us and we played two titles in one evening: 18Rhl and 1848 Australia. Both games were unique, 18Rhl because we played it for the…

1824 first impressions

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 04/12/201904/12/2019 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia, Reports and reviews / Relacje i recenzje

Recently we played this title in four people. This was my first game, so I will refrain from issuing a verdict whether I like this game or not. I will play again, then maybe another and another time, and only…

1883 my impression after play with our addon

Posted by Marcin (Magole) on 27/11/201927/11/2019 in First impressions / Pierwsze wrażenia, Reports and reviews / Relacje i recenzje

Does the game really need over 200 wooden elements? We have played once without all this wood and recently with our add-on together with corrected elements. The difference in the perception of the game was huge for me, but there…
