{"product_id":"18fr","title":"18FR","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn 18xx game originally designed in 1987 by Michael Liebetanz as 1830: Railways \u0026amp; Robber Barons on a new map for France.  In 1997 Helmut Ohley produced a variant set of rules for 18FR which introduced ports, the special track-tiles, etc. In 2009 J C Lawrence in collaboration with Helmut Ohley updated 18FR, extending and clarifying Helmut's original variant into a more interesting game.  Both variants require additional components to 1830: Railways \u0026amp; Robber Barons to play (files are provided to make your own) and assumes familiarity with the 1830: Railways \u0026amp; Robber Barons rules.\n\nThough this uses components of 1830 this is not an expansion, but is a separate standalone game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.80 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.
