Unfortunately, my 18xx experience is limited to <i>1830</i> and <i>1856</i>, so price protection, half dividends, bonds, mergers, and other related terms that seem to be understood by everyone sail right over my head. I am familiar with the merger mechanism in <i>1856</i>, but only played it once. Would like to have all the concepts explained.</p> Just got in touch with him, and he sent me the rules tout de suite.

Every year at Kublacon it has been a strikingly different game. Last year he introduced a whole bonds and preferred stock model. The year before that it was shell companies IIRC. The year before something else. Fiddling with 18NE seems to be Rich's hobby.</p> <p>I should drop him an email and see if he'd send me the current version's files.</p> Where/how did you get the files, and how old are they?

I should drop him an email and see if he’d send me the current version’s files.

I have it, but have yet to play it. I grew up in New England, so the whole area is of interest to me. Will have to put it together for play sometime soon.</p> That is it.

The one set in New England featuring Bonds, preferred stock and a corporate debt model? Rick trots that out at Kublacon every year. I didn't realise that he'd ever released files for it.</p> Is that Rich Northey’s game? The one set in New England featuring Bonds, preferred stock and a corporate debt model?
