1848: Australia

1848: Australia is a railroad game that puts players in charge of private companies, public railways, and stock investments in a semi-historical Australian 18XX setting.

You build rail networks by laying track, expand company routes, buy better trains, and compete to turn smart operations into long-term wealth. Shares matter as much as rail lines, so every decision about investment, control, and timing can shift the balance of power around the table. The design includes the Bank of England as a public company that can extend loans and manage railroads in receivership, along with different track gauges between states and The Ghan special train. It supports 3 to 6 players and delivers a classic economic rail experience with route building, stock play, and tight competition for position. Available now at Boarding School Games—Build the rails and invest wisely.
