About the game

What you do in a play session

18OE: On the Rails of the Orient Express is a behemoth among 18xx games, covering the entire European continent on a massive board. Dive into the world of railways as you manage five types of companies—from small privates to national giants. The game is pure strategy: buy shares, influence decisions, and profit from dividends while trying to make the legendary Orient Express traverse the continent. With games that can last up to 12 hours (but shorter scenarios for the less brave), this is a game for those who love complex challenges and aren't afraid to think big. Get ready for epic nights of negotiations, risky investments, and fierce railway competition!
