1822Africa

Acerca de

1822Africa places the 1822 system on a small map of the African continent with gameplay as fast as possible while retaining the 1822 game style. How is this different from other 1822 games? Smaller and cheaper train roster - These help the game flow well at a fast pace. Most games only last six sets of operating rounds. Smaller Map - To be fully built out over the course of a shorter game Shared Bid Boxes - There are only a “shared” set of three bid boxes, but unlike other 18xx games, there are two consecutive stock rounds. Concessions availability - The setup rules ensure that two concessions will come out in the first two stock rounds, but if other concessions are buried in the draw deck, the competition for the early concessions may be quite fierce. Earlier Phase 2 - In other 1822 games, the pacing of the early trains is somewhat slow (depends on the game/scenario). This allows minors a few turns to build up to be able to upgrade their L to a 2 (typically at a cost of 80). Since this game is meant to run faster, the L/2s are repriced to 50/100 with an upgrade cost of 70. This means that an SR1 minor can buy a 2-train from the start. Earlier minor acquisition - Since the goal of this game is to keep a fast pace, the restriction is waived that disallows acquisitions to take place in the first operation of a company. This means that a newly formed companies can participate in an acquisition from their first operation. —description from the designer
