The Avalon Hill Game Company Developed by SimTex, Inc. Platform DOS Published by The Avalon Hill Game Company Released 1995 Pacing Turn-based Perspective Top-down Misc Licensed Genre Simulation, Strategy/Tactics Setting Industrial Age, North America Gameplay Board Game, Managerial / Business Simulation Vehicular Train Description Based on Avalon Hill's board game of the same name, 1830: Railroads & Robber Barons is a railroad empire building game that is along the same lines (although a different style of gameplay) as the much more famous Railroad Tycoon . Capturing the very look and feel of the board game, all the way to the hexagonal playing field and track tokens, 1830 is a turn based game that emphasizes the successful running of a company and manipulating the stock market rather than managing a railroad. Tracks can be laid, cities connected, trains purchased, and schedules set, but the ultimate goal in the end is making money, even at the cost of your company; you'll wind up buying and selling a number of them during the course of the game anyway.
