18FL: Railroads to Paradise (2006)

About this game

18FL -- Railroads to Paradise Designer's intro from manual: 18FL is an 18xx game set in Florida. 18FL is a small 18xx game, in the style of Mark Derrick’s “one-state” games 18GA and 18AL, and is intended as a change from the more robust 18xx games often played. It is my hope that it may serve effectively as a “teaching game” as well, allowing new players a relatively benign introduction to the 18xx family of games.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 3.6/5 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.
