1826 is set in France, the game is designed for 2 to 6 players and should take about 5 hours to play. It has such features as

• Early trains have a range (2, 4, 6 or 10 hexes) while the later trains (E and TGV) runs a specific number of stops. TGV Trains can also 'reuse' routes.
• Early Corporations are partially funded, they receive capital as shares are sold. Later corporations are fully funded.
• 5-Share Corporations which can convert to 10-Share Corporations once they reach their destination.
• Twelve Corporations, a maximum of 10 can come into play.
• Two waves of Nationalisation, the Etat and SNCF.

1826 Silver Edition

This contains full colour Shares, Charters, Tiles, Trains and Maps, etc. printed on cardstock (which is coated so the colour printing is water resistant). The tokens are printed directly onto self adhesive labels which can be applied to 1/2" square counters (which I am now unable to supply anymore). The money set is printed on coloured paper. The gamekit comes with over 25 pages of colour components and a full size rulebook, all contained in a 2" deep gamebox with colour box art along with a number of other game aids and components.

1826 Gold Edition

This contains the same components as the Silver Edition but all the Shares, Charters, Tiles and Train components are thermally bonded using thick 250 micron double sided matt laminate. This makes the components extremely wear (and water) resistant and gives the look and feel that they are made from plastic. If required the map can be laminated as well. 85 wooden components (pre painted 15mm diameter by 10mm / 5mm high) are supplied to be used for the Tokens instead of 1/2" square cardboard counters. Please contact me for costs and availability of the Gold Edition gamekits, I can supply just the wooden tokens (while stocks last) or laminate any number of specific sheets as requested.

Please note that the Gold Edition gamekit still requires the components to be cut out. The wooden components do come with round self adhesive labels (no cutting required, you just peel and stick), they will save a little time and effort.
