1824 is a railway-building and share-dealing game for 2–6 players. It is based on Francis Shortened rules in purple in
Tresham‘s game 1829 and Leonhard Orgler’s game 1837. Historical realities have, as far the side bar are for experienced
as possible, been taken into account. In other places the history should and must be 18XX players.
written anew.
The player who has the greatest wealth in cash and shares at the end of the game is the
winner.
A set of simple mechanisms forms the basis of 1824. You use the yellow, green, brown
and grey tiles to create a rail network on the map. Just as in a real railway business, the
track in the game connects railway stations to each other. The trains (train cards) make
notional journeys from one location to the next and thereby earn money. The (imagi-
nary) passengers pay for their journeys. The more numerous and the more important
the revenue locations on a train‘s journey are, the more money it earns for the company
and its shareholders.
In the game you and the other players can own railway companies: 6 Mountain Railways,
4 Coal Railways, 7 forerunners of the State Railways. They can also own shares in the
Major Companies: 3 National Railways (the Staatsbahnen) and 5 Regional Railways.
The Major Companies belong to their shareholders. The player with the most shares in
a company is the Director of that company and decides how the company will act.
Rules for the two player game are on page 18.

• In it’s Operating Round each company can either place a yellow tile or upgrade cost
a tile that is already in place (see VII.7).
• The following rules apply:
»» In its first turn a company must lay a tile on its home base (if it wishes to lay
a tile), unless it starts from Vienna, Budapest, one of the four coal mines, or a
tile has already been laid on that hex.
»» Further tiles laid must be reachable from one of its station tokens via a con-
tinuous track line. The same rules apply as for a “route” (see VII.2) with the
exception that no second revenue location is needed. This “route” must not be
blocked by stations belonging to other companies.
»» Coal Companies start from a coal mine. Each coal mine has two exits (marked
with black arrows).
»» On a town (black point), only a tile with a black circle may be laid.
»» On a hex with two towns, only a tile with two tracks and two black circles may
be laid. Only one of those tracks needs to be connected to one of the compa-
nie’s station tokens.
»» On a city (white circle), only a city tile (white circle) may be laid. Some cities
show the letter “T”. These hexes may only have “T” tiles laid on them, and “T”
tiles may be placed nowhere else. The Vienna city hex may only have “W” tiles

is connected to a station of the company without being blocked by stations be- T
longing to other companies. (It is not necessary that any of the new track on the
tile is usable by the company.) 8 401
• Existing track may not be broken or lost as a result of an upgrade.

Examples of upgrading
11
• Tiles without revenue locations may only be upgraded to tiles without revenue
locations. Tiles with revenue locations must, after upgrading, retain any revenue
locations they had before upgrading. These revenue locations must be of the
same type as, and maintain all connections of, those that were present before the
upgrade.
• It is possible that, as the result of the upgrade of a city tile, additional places for
station markers become available.
• As long as a free space remains on a city tile, any company may trace a route
through it for the purpose of laying or upgrading tiles.
• Exchanged tiles are available for re-use.
• There is no cost to upgrade a tile, regardless of the terrain.
Look at the “Upgrade Chart” to see what possibilities of upgrade are available.
VII.8 Establishing Stations

• When a company places one of its tokens on a city circle, that token becomes
a station for that company. Stations serve the following purposes:
»» Each route run by a company must contain one of its stations somewhere on
the route.
»» A city that is fully occupied by stations can only be run through by companies
owning one of the stations (other companies may run to and/or from it).
»» A company may only lay a tile or place a token if it is part of a route connected
to one of its stations.
• A company must place its first station at its home base at the start of its turn
when it operates for the first time. This first station is free.
• During its turn in an Operating Round, a company may place one token in a city
circle to create a station. This may be in addition to the placement of the home
station.
• The first additional station that a company places costs 40 G. Each further sta-

a result, at the time of its formation the Sued- • A company may place no more than one of its stations on each hex location.

the first marker it places will only cost 40 G. at junctions.
• If a city contains the home base of a company that is not yet in operation, other
companies may only build stations there if they leave at least one free place on
the tile for the not yet operating company to place its home station.
• State Railways have five station tokens, Regional Railways have three.
VII.9 Operating Trains

2 80 G Each of a company’s trains may run once during its turn in an OR to earn revenue.
• A route consists of at least two different revenue locations that are connected by
track.
• Each route must have at least one of the operating company‘s stations at some
point along its length. Multiple trains may utilize the same station in ist route
4 2
provided it does not utilize the same track.
• The number of revenue locations in a train’s route may not exceed the range of

(starting at its mine) may travel through. The route may, in addition, include
Towns don’t count to range. any number of small towns. A g-train may not omit any large cities on its route.
12
»» The company receives the income from the mine (the smaller printed value in
the early stages of the game; the higher value once the first 5-train has been
bought). This money goes straight into the company‘s treasury.
• A route may not contain the same revenue location (including red tiles) more
than once, but can contain separate cities on the same tile. Thus, it is not allowed
to travel from Vienna to Vienna or from Budapest to Budapest.
• A red tile counts as a city for the purpose of counting how many revenue loca-
tions a train can include on its route.
• If a company owns more than one train, the routes they run must be completely
separate. The routes may meet or cross at revenue locations provided they use
separate sections of track. A junction, for example on a green tile, may therefore
only be used by one train in a game turn, because the two tracks merge together.
VII.10 Calculating Income

• The revenue of a train is the sum of the revenue values for each revenue location
on its route. The revenue of a company is the sum of the revenues of all of its
trains. Not included is the value of coal mine(s) which is given to the company’s
treasury.
• The revenue value of each city and town is printed on the tile or hex. Red tiles
have different values in different phases of the game (see VII.14 phase changes).
• The revenue claimed must be the highest total revenue that any player can show.
It can be indicated with a token in the table below the map.

owns the biggest share in that company, they are of course, interested in paying out the
dividends to enlarge their personal wealth. Still, sometimes a company requires extra
money to lay track, place stations, make acquisitions, and buy new trains.

• If a company buys a train from another company which has the same Director,
the minimum price that must be paid is 1 G.
• If a company buys a train from another company which has a different Director,
the price paid must be the face value as printed on the card.
• When a company buys a train from another company, the transaction takes place
at the end of the purchasing company‘s turn.
• Trains can never be sold back to the bank. Trains can be never scrapped volun-
tarily. Scrapping only happens during a phase change.
• Trains that are surplus as the result of a phase change are removed from the
game. No compensation is paid.
• If a company is forced to buy a train and does not have sufficient money in its
treasury, the rules for Emergency Financing come into effect.
VII.12 Emergency Financing

• The Director must make up the shortfall from their own personal funds.

Share Round. • As soon as a Director who is buying a train under the rules for emergency financ-

paid at the rate of 50% (rounded up).
• The Director may sell shares to cover part of the debt. Interest is then payable

on the remainder.
• In each subsequent SR the Director is still not obliged to sell shares to clear their
debt, but they can not buy any more shares until the debt is cleared.
• At the end of each SR a further 50% interest is charged on the remaining debt.
• If several different trains are available (from the Bank or on offer from other
companies), the Director may choose which to buy.
• When a train is bought under these arrangements, the Director may not pay
more than the face value of the train.
• The Director may not use their personal money to buy further trains for the
company or to subsidise them in any way. That is to say, a company that buys a
train with financial help from its Director may not have any cash remaining in its
treasury after the purchase.

VII.14 Phase changes

The start of each new phase is triggered by the purchase of the first train of a new type,
or by the sale of the first train of a new type to a foreign country (Rule VII.15). Each
phase has limitations and additions as follows:

»» At the end of each series of OR a “normal” train is sold abroad.

»» Green tiles are available.
»» Coal railways may be exchanged.
»» Mountain railways may be exchanged.
»» There are two ORs after each SR.
»» Companies are permitted to buy trains from each other.

»» 2-trains are scrapped.
»» 3g-trains are available. (The 1g are scrapped when the first 3g is bought.)
»» The Mountain Railways are closed.

»» The Suedbahn sd is founded at the end of the OR.
»» The train limit for Staatsbahnen is 4.

»» Brown tiles are available.

IX.1 General Information
• The current set of ORs is always played to its completion.
• The game ends when the Bank has run out of money. Any dividends due to play-
ers will need to be recorded on a piece of paper. These recorded dividends are
included as part of a player‘s cash in the final totals.
• If the Bank runs out of money in a SR, the game ends after the SR and a further
complete set of ORs have been played.
IX.2 Final Totals

• Each player adds to their cash the value of their shares as determined by the
share price chart.
• Company assets in the form of trains or treasury play no part in the final reck-
oning.
• The player with the greatest wealth wins the game.

that you have the following four stacks:
Stack 1: The two randomly chosen railways.

Stack 2: The two Number-1 pre state railways.
Stack 3: The two remaining “small” pre state railways.
Stack 4: The two remaining coal railways.
The two railways in stack 1 function as construction railways. They don’t own and run
any trains and have no treasury. They lay track tiles according to the tile laying rules
with the exception that they do not pay any terrain costs.
Both construction railways are closed with the purchase of the first 4-train if one of them
is a Sd-railway or with the purchase of the first 5-train if one of them is the kk2 railway.
At the time of closure the construction railway the corresponding state railway recieves
120 G in it’s treasury.
X.4 Additional rules

Rules from the basic game are valid with the following exceptions:
• The kk state railway floats with the purchase of the first 5-train.
• Sold shares are put into the bank pool. If a player buys shares from the bank pool
their purchase may exceed the standard 60% limit (see VI.7 Certificate Limit).
• For the regional railway that corresponds to the coal railway from stack 1 the
following rules apply:
»» The share price marker is placed on 50 in the bottom row of the share price
index.
18
»» All shares are placed in the bank pool and are available for purchase imme-
diately. The 20% (director) share is always an alternative offer to a 10% share.
»» This company does not have a director, does not own or run any trains, and
has no treasury. Each OR it pays out an amount equal to it’s share price. Odd
amounts are rounded up.
»» It’s shares may be bought and sold like any other shares.
»» Because all shares begin in the bankpool a player may posses up to 100% of
this company.
»» The director‘s share certificate is treated just like a 10% share except that it is
a 20% share and a player must buy and sell it for twice it’s share price. A play-
er is not allowed to “split” this share, i.e. you may not sell only 10% of it and
change it into a 10% share from the bank pool. Vice versa, if a player has a 10%
share they may not pay for another 10% share and exchange their 10% into the
20% share.
»» At the beginning of the game the home station marker is put on the home hex
on the map board.
»» The director of the company who purchased the last 4-train may build another
station token of this directorless company whereever they want. No connection
to the home station token is required.
»» If the last 4-train was exported, then this rule is valid for the director of the
company who purchases the last 5-train. If the last 5-train was exported the
station token is unable to be established.
»» The third station token is placed in Vienna as soon as the Vienna hex is upgrad-
ed to brown.
• Bukowina bonus run: If a company runs a train from either Vienna (Wien) or
Praha (Prag) to at least one of the Bukowina hexes (the three green hexes in the
east: D25, E24, E26) it gains a bonus of 50 Gulden.
X.5 First Share Round

• The starting player chooses one Pre-Railway from one of the four stacks. Player
2 recieves the other railway.
• Then Player 2 chooses two Pre-Railways from two remaining stacks. The Starting
Player immediately recieves the other two railways.
• Finally the starting player chooses one railway of the last remaining stack, player
2 recieves the other railway.
• Both players pay for the railways they received. In they recieved a coal railway
they may – like in the base game – decide upon a starting share price for the
corresponding regional railway and pay twice this share price into the treasury of
the coal railway. Then the coal railway immediately purchases a 1g-train.
Player are not allowed to pass during these first three actions. Both players now have
four railways.
Now each player may buy a Mountain railway. After this step any remaining Mountain
railways are removed from the game.
Then the share round continues in a normal way. Shares may be purchased but not sold
in this first share round.

XII.1 Additional Game components:
• The 17 additional track tiles. Goods Time Goods Time
• Town tokens
XII.2 Setup
• Town tokens are placed on plain hexes (i.e. without cities or towns) on the stand-
ard map board.
• The players may decide how many town tokens they want to use (we recommend
seven to ten) and where on the map board they are placed. We suggest a ‘snake
draft’ for placing tokens: 1-2-3-4-4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4...
• Please be aware that the town token may only be placed in plain hexes, and only
1 or 2 per hex.
• For the first play of this variant we suggest this scenario (which enhances the
status of the coal railways):
