There are currently no plans to publish any more games through crowdfunding. The effort involved in crowdfunding, including the processing, is simply too high and leaves no time for the development of new 18xx games. One of these new developments, 18DDR, has now been completed. Some games have been reinstated in the "artisanal" program. Efforts are also underway to license other publishers, who will then carry out professional production. This has already been achieved with 18SX-Saxony. Marflow Games will be present at Spiel 25 with my games at the Lonny booth.
The game has been available since February 2025. A revised board for the stock market from 18DO can also be delivered with this game.
This game is sold out at Marflow Games. However, some copies are still available at retailers. A reprint is not planned for the time being. A revised board for the stock market (bug fixes) can be delivered together with 18Rhl-Rhineland.
An expansion of 18Ruhr will be published in the Traxx Mainline Magazine 2025. Copies of the magazine will be availabe at SPIEL 25.
18SAXONIA
This gameis the revised 18SX-Saxony. The game flow has been significantly streamlined, and there is one type of track only. The game board has two areas now: the mountains in the south and the plains in the north. Only curved tracks can be built on the mountainous terrain spaces. To build straight tracks there, the placement of viaducts is still needed. The same applies to the construction of intersections on the terrain spaces there. However, straight tracks can now be built on the plains. There are simple intersections here. All track tiles are printed on both sides, : one side for the mountains (with a light brown border) and one side for the plains (with a light green border). Construction capacity is still limited by building points. The card limit has been further simplified. There is now only different card limits per game phase (yellow/green/brown) for 3, 4, or 5 players. There is also a small game board of the western part of Saxony designed for 2 and 3 players. The 2-player version includes an 'investor' as a dummy player. Extensive playtesting is nearing completion. A prototype will be presented at SPIEL 25. The game is expected to be released in 2026.
This game is back in the production program.
This game is back also, as there have been many requests.
The testing phase for 18DDR was completed at the beginning of April. 18DDR will be available at SPIEL 25. Pre-orders are already being accepted. The game will be presented on a separate page.
