Introduction

The 18xx Rules Difference List exists as a reference to the differences in the rules of 18xx railway games and associated games. It is useful to people who are already familiar with at least one such game, and are learning to play another. This is version 3-332. It was last modified on February 9th 2009. The list is maintained by Keith Thomasson. Mail me if you have any comments or concerns about the list.

Navigating through the list

The list is divided up into sections, each containing a number of items. These are usually presented as questions such as How much cash do players start with? Each section has its own contents list, and each item has a page with the answers for the games covered by the list. A list of all the items in the list can be found on the Contents page.

On each page, the links allow you to move to the previous or next page without having to go back to the contents list.

Rubric

In compiling this list, it has been necessary to decide what it is that is to be documented: what the rules say, or what their author intended them to say. As we have more access to the printed rules than to their authors' minds (which may anyway have changed since writing the rules), the former has been chosen. Where the author's current view is known, this is also provided.

Text in [square brackets] is the opinion of Nick Wedd, and may be disregarded (he said so). Text is {braces} is the opinion of Keith Thomasson, as may also be disregarded (quite rightly).
