1825 Unit 2 (2000)

About this game

The second unit in the 1825 series covering the Midlands (of England). This can be played standalone or in conjunction with 1825 Unit 1 (southern England) & 1825 Unit 3 (Scotland). Designed by Francis Tresham this is another of many games based on the same underlying mechanics, known as 18xx.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.5/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
