18Korea

About this board game

18Korea is a stock investment and railway management game for 2–5 players, with a play time of approximately 180 minutes. Set on the Korean Peninsula, it combines railway company management with the buying and selling of stocks.

Players can establish a railroad company and develop an investment portfolio through stock transactions. The game focuses on the connection between railway operations and investment value, creating two complementary areas to manage.

• Set up and manage a railroad company
• Build railway tracks and stops
• Purchase trains for founded railway companies
• Buy and sell stocks to shape an investment portfolio
• Collect dividends and benefit from increases in holding values

Founded railway companies are responsible for construction, train purchases, and operations. Their activities also generate revenues, giving railway management an important role alongside stock investment.

As you play, you can balance the development of a railway company with the opportunities offered by the stock market. Buying and selling stocks, collecting dividends, and responding to changes in the value of holdings are central parts of the experience.

Released in 2021, 18Korea offers a substantial railway and investment experience for groups of two to five players. If you enjoy games built around railroad companies, track and stop construction, train purchases, and portfolio management, it brings these themes together in one extended session.
