How to Play: 1830
Рет қаралды 36,444
Күн бұрынThis is a quick and comprehensive video that teaches you how to play 1830, a basic 18xx game. It helps if someone in the group already knows how to play (eg. you can use this as a replacement to teaching others how to play right before you play), but all the rules are covered in case you haven’t played.

Special Stock Round: 0:30
Correction: In the Special Stock Round, play continues to the left of the last person to buy directly from the bank (a company with no bids on it), NOT the last person to win an auction. This applies to Priority Deal as well.

Thanks for the compliment! I haven't played 1846 and wasn't planning on doing another 18xx rules video (since a lot of the rules tend to be the same/similar), but I know Heavy Cardboard (kzfaq.info) is doing a live teach/playthrough of 1846 in the next couple of weeks, so that might help.

Since players with any experience usually explain 18XX games to each other by simply listing the ways that game differs from 18XX, it might be interesting if you did a video of another popular title (like 1846 - I am sure it would be a popular subject to cover) and format the video just like that: as a set of differences from 1830 and, conveniently, you can link this video at the start, telling people they should already be familiar with the earlier video before watching the new one. It could be a ~5 minute explanation then.

Great rules explanation! With a complex game like 1830, you will have to watch the video at least twice, even three times, but the rules teach is very well structured. On an entirely unrelated topic: I am regularly amazed how, from today's standards, the Avalon Hill version of 1830 looks like a prototype.
@BoardGameBlitz 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! And yeah, the Avalon Hill version looks like a prototype compared to today, but it also was a lot cheaper than most games today! I think our copy had a catalog of other Avalon Hill games and they were all around $10-$15!
@Centigonos 2 жыл бұрын
@@BoardGameBlitz Oh, I fondly remember the time when Avalon Hill games came with a catalog in the box and a note that you could send in a self-addressed, stamped envelope with questions regarding the game...Ah, the nostalgia! As I'm living in Germany, AH games have always been kind of expensive due to them being imported from the US, tariffs and such, but they were among the best games we could get our hands on!

The first tile the NYC company player places is ALWAYS the tile of its home base??? I searched everywhere for an answer to this, I hope someone here can solve this. We are just starting with this game, learning just the introduction game without the stock market. With 2 players, someone is the NYC player and he starts with the home base without any rails on his tile, so how dus he begin his first turns? Thx for your reply
@BoardGameBlitz 4 жыл бұрын
Stefaan Vangheluwe if there is no track on the home base, then yes, the Corp’s first tile lay will be the tile on their home base. The only time this wouldn’t be true is if the Corp starts up later in the game and track has already been built on that space by another Corp. Note: this also applies to the Erie Corp (although that space is marked yellow, there is no track on it so the Corp will need track on that space before building anywhere else).

Yup, you’re can sell it to any public corporation. Most of the time in my games a player sells it to a corporation that they’re the president of.

@BoardGameBlitz 4 жыл бұрын
I've played 18Chesapeake once. The rules are very similar to 1830. I don't remember the differences though since I was taught the game and it was a couple years ago. I think the main difference is that there's exporting of trains (the game removes trains at the end of the round).
@unachimba9 5 жыл бұрын
Don't discarded trains go to the bank pool rather than the supply?
@BoardGameBlitz 5 жыл бұрын
It just goes back to the Bank (the rules don't specify a difference between bank pool and train area for trains - only for stock). We put it in the train area since that makes it more clear which trains are available for purchase, especially during a force purchase.

My rulebook says that the priority deal card doesn’t change after an auction for private companies at tech start of the game?
@BoardGameBlitz 4 жыл бұрын
It shouldn't really matter, since the next stock round happens immediately after the inital private company auction. But otherwise it helps indicate who goes first in the next stock round. I think the original Avalon Hill Rules say that the priority deal card gets passed to the next player after the private company auction, but I'm not sure if that has been changed in other editions.
@playingk5845 4 жыл бұрын
I think I might have worded my statement a bit wrong, I meant when you made multiple bids on a private company so you start an auction, I’ll go by what my rulebook says but it states that after that private (with multiple bids) has been sold play goes to the person with the priority deal and it doesn’t change hands. In other words, after an auction for a private company with multiple bids happen, the player to the left of the last player to directly buy a private (not by a bit, auctioned or not) goes, but, anyways is fine really, I’m just gonna roll by what my rules says

@@BoardGameBlitz I have a 1986 copy of the game and the rulebook included shows a cert limit for 2-6 players, and no player count is listed on the box itself. Was there a version before that? Back when I played this in the early 90s, I remember contacting Avalon Hill for clarification on the money distribution for 2 players, and they informed me they meant to include the amount for 2 players. They also said it’s common to increase shareholding limit from 60 to 70% for two players, though it’s not in the rulebook. I’m curious where the original ever was advertised to be 3-6 players.
@BoardGameBlitz 10 ай бұрын
Ah I didn’t look at that part and just looked at the setup in the rulebook, sorry! As @ElegyForTheMasses said, there wasn’t a player count on the box so I looked at the setup and only saw it listed for 3-6 players so I assumed that was the player count (and maybe BGG had that as the player count or community voted player count when I made the video).
