Nervous Impulses

An off-the-cuff list of online resources & methods for playing the 18xx:

Board18
CyberBoard (many fan-made kits, a file-sharing system to move the save-files between players, and with a spreadsheet for the numerics)
FWTWR
ps18xx (file-copying with a spreadsheet – link is to a version of Stephe Thomas’ rather improved version of Matthias Klose’ original)
Rails (file-copying the save-file)
rr18xx (requires a login code that can be found in the 18xx mailing list archives)
Stephe Thomas’ email-based “Mais n’est-ce pas la gare”.
VASSAL (many fan-made kits and with file-copying etc)

I use ps18xx heavily and don’t use any of the others.

I’ve also setup games under a webcam and played via a Google Hangout, which worked fairly well.
