Would love to see a playthrough with friends of Anno with the expansion 🤩

THat'd be fun! We have so many games we'd like to play already though, not enough time to do it all.

We played a 4-player game of Anno 1800 with the expansion and it was a very good experience although somewhat slow at the beginning. Everybody played the game for the first time but playing 4-player and with the expansion felt almost like the preferred option. You can definitely trade a lot and set up some great moves.

That's great to hear! My love for the expansion hasn't been universal with my friends who played it unfortunately. No one disliked it, but some aren't sold on it vs playing base game.

Any issues with adapting/translating the German language expansion for Anno 1800, once you received it? Would you consider it a worthwhile value to pursue the expansion for other English speakers?

I haven't had any problems. The only german text in the expansion is com a few of the mission cards, and those cards have icons on them which help remind which ones they are. I printed out an english translation and explained what those cards mean during setup, and it hasn't been a problem while playing.

Getting my first in-person 18xx experience (not counting a "play" at Gamestorm convention 15 years ago where I had, literally, no idea what was happening) tonight with another total newbie. 2 player short game. Interested to see what we think. Your playthrough was very helpful.

Would you say Railways of the Lost Atlas is a great entry into 18XX games or is there a more beginner friendly title we can try first?

It's less about title, but about players. In you have at least one experienced 18XX player, he will show you the ropes, nasty tricks and how deep these games are. It will be fast and easy to follow game. It usually takes 2-3 hours for a rules explanation and full game in our group, while same game can take 6h+ without "a teacher".

Railways of the Lost Atlas is specifically meant as a "gateway" game for the 18xx genre, but with the depth and flexibility to grow with players as they become more familiar with the gameplay mechanics. I recently received my copy, and I don't think I'm going to need to play any other 18xx games. 😊

Yes, it is absolutely a great way to introduce people to 18xx. Especially if you have 2 or 3 players, becuase you could teach with a microgame and it will be quite quick while also showing much of the gameplay loop.

Embrace 18XX! You are right, that beginners game can take 4h+, but with at least one experienced player on board game length is cut by half. Yesterdays evening we played 1849 twice! With RotLA I see one problem - there is fixed number of rounds, while in full 18XX players can end game quick, way before running out of cash in bank.

In order to make recording these for every game I play feasible, production corners are cut. This is essentially a podcast, but with a photo for reference. If I recorded myself in it, there's no way I could actually make all of these due to the extra overhead.
