I made a free browser version of Railways of the Lost Atlas

>I am not entirely sure if this is allowed as it might be counted as promoting, I can remove it if required.

Railways of the Lost Atlas is one of my favorite 18xx games to play right now, and I wanted to play it more often than Saturdays. So I built a version you can play in the browser: play.lostatlas.live

It has the base game and the Landmarks expansion with all variants. You can build the map tile by tile like at the table or use a prebuilt map, and the engine works out most of the things for you, routes and revenue included. Games are saved, so you can play live or take your turns over a few days. You can also play hot-seat on one device.

Asterisk Games gave their permission to share it. It's still being built, so if something looks wrong there's a bug report button in every game. I'd love to hear what you think.

Game recommendation

Evening

Our playgroup played our first 18xx over the past 2 weeks (18 Chesapeake) and even though we had a few rules hiccups we had a really fun time. 18 Chesapeake did leave us yearning for a little bit more though.

The playtime was fitting. The balance between operating and investing were quite good but the private companies are quite boring overall.

What would be the next step with 18xx? We are currently 4-5 active players and evenly split between enjoying economy and operation.

I heard that shikoku 1889 is quite good but is it worth skipping for a more in depth game? Is better to try something like 1830 or 1846 or are there some newer medium complexity/Length games that are worth checking out?

All-Aboard Games Fulfillment?

I know there have been long standing delays with the wave 6 games but has anyone had trouble getting older warehouse game orders fulfilled? It’s been over two weeks and my order hasn’t shipped. No insult to Scott, I really admire his contribution to our hobby. It’s a testament to the quality of his work that I am impatient to receive the games haha!

Best current medium-complexity 18XX?

10-20 years ago I was part of a group that played 18XX games fairly regularly. Our most played game by far was 1870, we also played a fair bit 1856, and occationaly 1850, 1832, 1860 and a few others.

My conclution then was that 1870 was supreme, because it without added rules-complexity had a wide open strategic landscape, that allowed for a multitude of pathways to victory.

Which current 18XX titles come closest to fitting the description above?
