Game Description

1857 — one of three titles in Winsome Games 2015 Essen Set — is an 18xx game set in Argentina and requires some of the components from 1830 in order to play. There are 8 companies in the game with 6 unique privates. Several of these privates continue to function if owned by a railroad when they would normally close and removed from the game. Companies also have stations on the board from the beginning of the game that block passage through those locations, even before the company floats.
