John's 18XX Site -- 1826 Section
1826 Home Page
This part of the site is intended to provide the player in my e-mail games of 1826 with a quick reference to the main points of the game.
1826 is published by Deep Thought Games and the section of their website dedicated to 1826 can be visited here.
Players should have access to a copy of the original rules and game.
The current, March 2020, rules consist of the V2.1 rules dated 15 Sptember 2004 plus the Clarifications/Errata dated 15 September 2004.
Both are currently downloadable as pdf files from Deep Thought Games website.
These pages are not a substitute for the Game and Rulebook and indeed are not intended to be.
The game rulebook will always take precedence over this site for the determination of rule resolution.
However note that the House Rules/Guidance Notes make some exceptions to this. See them.
You are referred to Blackwater Station Platform for rule clarifications and generally loads of good info about the 18XX games in general.
Visit Blackwater Station Platform.
Keith Thomasson maintains a good website which includes the 18XX Rules Difference list which indicates the differences between the different 18XX games.
Visit the Rules Difference Section of Keith's site.
Keith does have downloadable maps and tile sheets, but take care with the tile sheets as he uses his own orientation codes which do not always agree with those that I use.
Use the top or margin buttons to come back to this page.
The maps on this section of the site are based on those created by Rob Thomasson.
