I remember watching this a decade ago. But I'm looking forward to my first 18xx game later this year. Thanks again for your pioneering work in board games and I'm glad I had the opportunity follow your work through the years.
Yeah, a couple of updates that should probably be added to his quick discussion of related games in the beginning - 1830 was republished by Mayfair Games a couple of years ago and is still available - but sadly was found to have printing errors, which even though they claimed they wanted it to be their "flagship" train game, they opted to release a PDF file to fix rather than reprinting those tiles. Additionally Union Pacific *was* re-released, but re-themed as Airlines Europe.

I really miss Boardgames with Scott! :(
Scott, thank you for a fantastic introduction to the 18xx family of games. Have used this a few times to introduce the game system to new players. :-)
Thank you for this video!
I've just played 18lilliput and got interested in 18xx series.
Wow that intro caught me off guard. Made my night!
Mayfair games also re-release 1830 over here with updated parts
I want all those boxes. I love them.

In Germany 1830 is now available, but I bet you do know it already.
