''18XX'' is the generic term for a series of board games that, with a few exceptions, recreate the building of railroad corporations during the 19th century; individual games within the series use particular years in the 19th century as their title (usually the date of the start of railway development in the area of the world they cover), or "18" plus a two-letter geographical designator (such as ''18EU'' for a game set in the European Union). The games ''2038'', set in the future, and ''Poseidon'' and ''Ur, 1830 BC'', both set in ancient history, are also regarded as ''18XX'' titles as their game mechanics and titling nomenclature are similar despite variance from the common railroad/stock-market theme. The ''18XX'' series has its origins in the game ''1829'', first produced by Francis Tresham in the mid-1970s. 1829 was chosen as it was the year of the Rainhill Trials. ''1830'' was produced by Avalon Hill in 1986, and was the first game of the series widely available in the United States; it is seen as the basic ''18XX'' game by the U.S. audience.〔 〕 In addition to traditionally published games, the ''18XX'' series has spawned self-published variants and games published by low-volume game companies. With few exceptions (such as ''2038''), 18XX titles are multiplayer board games without random variables in their game mechanics. ==List of Games== (詳細はウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「18xx」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
