In 1880: China, based on 1829 by Francis Tresham, the players become railway barons in the far east, experiencing China's railway history in a game that was designed to represent related historical events as correctly as possible within its own game mechanisms. Being a classic 18xx game, the players compete to become the richest. In order to gain money, they buy and sell shares of China's historical railway companies, build and expand their railway network, and let trains travel on the networks. Shares of successful companies are worth more, and owning them will increase the chance to win the game. In the end, the player with the highest wealth combined from cash and shares wins.

1880: China innovates on the 18xx model as follows:


Turn order for companies doesn't change with the evolving stock prices; it is set along with the par price when a player opens a company.
The game includes a player-manipulated ratio of stock rounds and operation rounds. For example, a new stock round occurs when the last of a type of train is bought.

Great game, but,

Im giving this a 3. and here is why.
It is, for the 18xx'ers, a good game and the new graphic layout is pretty nice.
BUT
Look-out games is owned by Asmodee and Asmo is one of the worst and greedy companies i ever saw. The way they deal with customer support is... "go threw your store because we dont care"
Now, in the case of this particular game, like ALOT of Asmo games, it has misprints and errors and naturally, Asmo does not openly say it, so you kinda have to guess. Once you managed that, after a couple weeks of detective work, you might be able to find that they made a sticker sheet to repair the mis-prints, but now you have the joy of having to guess on how to get that sheet and learn how to play bureaucratic ping-pong for another 2-3 weeks just to finally receive the answer " go threw the sotre because we dont care about coakroach /customers like you"
BoardGameBliss has always giving me superb support and do not hold them accountable for any of this. I know this BS is 100% Asmo trying to put save on vaseline before they.... you know.

And honnestly, having known this was a Asmo product might have changed my decision on buying it.
