1880 - China puts players in the role of railway barons in the Far East, following the story of China's railway history. Earn money by buying and selling shares in historical Chinese railway companies, building and expanding rail networks, and running trains across them.

How it plays

• Trade shares of China's historical railway companies.
• Build and expand your railway network.
• Run trains along the networks to earn money.

Shares in successful companies are worth more, and holding them improves your chances of winning. When the game ends, the player with the greatest combined wealth in cash and shares wins.

The game aims to represent the related historical events as accurately as its own mechanics allow. It is based on 1829 by Francis Tresham.
