Choo Choo Crew #5: Down in the Dumps

James, Joe, Zach, and Sanchez go deep in the dumps with our conversation about yellow/brown strategy and tactics in 18xx. Enjoy the opening auction of Bill Dixon’s 1992 game 1870: Railroading across the trans Mississippi since 1870.  More train game discussion on Dual Gauge, Han Heidema’s West Riding Revisited and Dutch InterCity, and of course 1830!

JCL’s blog post on the difference between full and incremental capitalisation systems:
