1880: China
An 18xx game by Helmut Ohley and Lonny Orgler set in China. As usual, players are railroad capitalists and operate in a stock market buying and selling shares, opening companies and trying not to go bankrupt.
It’s a big game even by 18xx standards, with a few innovations added to the system:
– turn order for companies not changing with the evolving stock prices: it is set along with the par price when a player opens a company
– A player-manipulated ratio of stock rounds and operation rounds: for an example, a new stock round occurs when the last of a type of train is bought
