About the game

What you do in a play session

1835 is a railroad strategy game that plunges players into the world of trains and stock markets in Germany. Based on the classic 1829, it introduces new mechanics like minor railway companies, layered stock offerings, and the formation of the Prussian railroad. The board is an abstract hexagonal system where players lay tracks and compete to control the most profitable companies. Whoever holds the majority shares calls the shots, but beware: the market can be ruthless! The game ends when the bank runs out of money, and the winner is the one who amassed the most wealth. Get ready for a 6-hour strategic marathon, perfect for fans of deep, negotiation-heavy games.
