Shikoku 1889 is a brand new production of Yasutaka Ikeda’s 2004 game of investors and railroads on Shikoku, the smallest of the Japanese main islands. The game has all the basics of the 18xx genre on a smaller board that favors interaction and provides a shorter game playable in an evening. Like any 18xx game, players buy stocks in the companies that build tracks and run trains, and the player with the most wealth in cash and stocks at game end is the winner.

Both new and experienced 18xx players are welcome at this session.
