18TN: The Railroads Come to Tennessee (2006)

About this game

18TN is Mark Derrick's game set in Tennessee and Kentucky, similar to his 18AL and 18GA. This game is what 1851 was based on, but the substantial changes introduced by Chris Lawson make it play quite differently. 18TN is simple enough to use for teaching the 18xx game system to new players, and finishes in a reasonable time as well.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 3.8/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
