Finally played a full game of Shikoku 1889 by Yasutaka Ikeda on 18xx.games. It's such a great game and we finished it in around 3 hours. I reckon that's not going to be possible if you played in person, but I still want to play a full game face-to-face at some point. 😊👍 #18xx #ccmf #boardganes

I actually quite enjoy Southern Pacific. It's one of just a couple that I kept vs reselling after a handful of plays.

Best at 4, but try and learn to play at 3. I think it reveals it's secrets more easily then. I find 5p to just be sort of opaquely antagonistic as it can turn the game into 4v1 setup almost. As neat as that sounds, it's less interesting in practice.

I finally played my first #18xx game: Shikoku 1889 from Grand Trunk Games. We stopped in phase 5, but it was a lot of fun. We got a couple of things wrong, but it was relatively easy to learn. Thank you to @ambierona for the great rules teach video. 😃👍 #ccmf #boardgames #TrainGames

Final game situation for The Old Prince 1871 last night. Fantastic game. Ended up starting in a position I didn't want, 80% of PEIR, and couldn't push the end game before the Union Bank pulled ahead. #18xx #CCMF
