Step into the vibrant world of 1889, an exciting entry in the acclaimed 18xx series inspired by Francis Tresham's classic, 1829. Set against the backdrop of Shikoku, Japan, this game presents a unique twist with its smaller, terrain-rich map.

Designed for 2 to 6 players, 1889 immerses you in the dynamic realm of railroad investment. During the Share Dealing Rounds, players will strategically use their funds to acquire shares in various railroad companies. As the game progresses, railroad corporations will take action on the board, guided by the decisions of the major shareholders.

Experience firsthand the thrilling evolution of railroad development during a pivotal historic era in Shikoku. Watch as older trains become obsolete while cities flourish and revenue streams expand. Smart players will seize the opportunity to purchase the most lucrative shares at the right moments, maximizing their earnings from dividends and stock value increases.

The race to fortune culminates in a battle of wits where the player with the highest combination of personal cash and stock value takes home the victory. Originally offered in kit form by Wild Heaven, 1889 is now expertly published by Grand Trunk Games, offering a stylish and engaging experience for board game enthusiasts.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of strategy, investment, and triumph? Dive into 1889 and see if you have what it takes to dominate the railroad landscape!
