Description
Mayfair Boardgame 1853 - India by Francis Tresham. Never played, condition like new.
This is the Indian sub-continent (British Imperial India) member of the 18xx family of games. It is billed as A game for engineers who\'ve had enough of the financiers! It involves five-foot-six and meter gauges, hills, mountains and the Himalayas, contract bids and government mails. The technical challenges of building a railroad network in difficult country stand on a par with the financial market manipulation which usually dominates the 18xx games. Time to play is listed as 4-7 hours. Ages 11+. For its 20th anniversary, Lookout Games and Mayfair Games Inc. published an updated version in Oct 2009. This is the version I am selling here.
