Train Game Looks DIFFICULT
Well, I started reading the directions for my new 18XX game, and it is really challenging. The direction book is a thick magazine! Between buying private companies or pubic companies or trading stocks in these companies; managing the rise and fall of the stocks; the purchase of railroad track and engines; running trains between cities; making money from successful trips; the advance of technology as new engines come available; this is on intense game! I spoke to some train lovers at church today. They're interested in giving this game a shot with me. One thing I'm curious about is writing a cgi script Of the 18XX game. It would be cool to be able to plug different scenarios into the script and have train fans all over the world participate in games. This might be already available through Railroad Tycoon; if there are any 18XX players out there, let me know what you think. ~JasonTags:hobbies model_trains 0 likes ↑
