1851 - 18xx gamebox

1851
The railroads come to Kentucky & Tennessee

ZunTsu Gamebox version 1.0

Rules: http://www.18xx.net/1851/1851r008.txt

I've just finished and playtested a ZunTsu gamebox for 1851 (one of the 18xx series of railroad investment games). I've included poker chips for money (leveraged the Poker gamebox chip art). I'll entertain questions here in this thread.

Features:
- Stock, IPO, and tile reference chart are terrain and can be moved around to suit
- All artwork redone
- All rules summarized on the components for easy, faster, play
- Tiles and Charters are cards so they stay underneath tokens, trains, stock & money

Tips:
- To start a new game:
1. Look at the bottom of the IPO terrain to note which privates are in play and how much starting money each player gets
2. Select the privates and priority deal marker counters and bring them into the inspector
3. Shuffle the counters 3 times and hand them out one private per player from the top
3a. As you come to the priority deal counter, hand it out to whoever is next and then continue to hand out privates until each player has one
4. Allocate starting capital to each player minus the cost of their private company.
5. For those privates that have stock, hand out the stock (the double L&N symbols denote that private comes with the L&N presidency - that player sets the IPO price for the L&N)

- Turn off stacking to align stock certificates that players buy so counting percentages is easier (seen screen shot)

- Open the calculator accessory to calculate payouts (and/or refer to the stock payout chart at the bottom of the tile upgrade chart terrain)

I have discovered a few annoying bugs after posting the gamebox. I have posted a replacement. Changes include:

- Corrected chipcount for bank
- Corrected some minor syntax issues in the scenarios and game-box.xml

I've sent a note to Jerome to update the download link. The older version is no longer online.

I've notified Jerome so that he can update the link on the Files page.

Hi, new Zuntzu here, I just found out to my great disappointment the above link is dead.

Files don't last forever on MediaFire if they are untouched for a long time.
