| DESCRIPTION 1856
is Mayfair Games' version of the critically acclaimed
18xx railroad game system
for Upper Canada, including the upper reaches of the St. Lawrence River, and the
Toronto to Detroit area to southern Ontario.
Players use their initial money to
capitalize railroad companies, which can in turn build track, buy locomotives,
and generate income. Players may engage in corporate raiding, stock
manipulation, and insider trading to take advantage of their opponents and win
the day.
Special play features include the ability of every player to open and
operate a rail company, with the government providing loans to help and the
ability to cut small towns from your route. Deluxe components include
warp-resistant board, plastic sorting tray, high quality playing pieces and
contemporary currency.
1856 is personally endorsed and approved by Francis Tresham, the designer
of 1829, upon which 1856 is based.
