The first railway in Namibia was a small mining railway line at cape cross, built in 1895. It never became part of the railway net. In 1897, the German colonial government built the ‘Staatsbahn’, going into full operation in 1902. During the next ten years, four other railway lines were established. In 1916, the South African railways took over the German built railway net and built an already planned sixth railway line. 18Namibia begins with the historical situation but ignores the effects of the First World War and continues with a hypothetical scenario.

18Namibais based on ‘1895 Namibia’, which was designed for three players only. In order to expand the game for four players, a sixth Railway Corporation and two Mining Corporations introduced in18Namibia. In addition, some minor changes made to the map as well as to the tile mix in order to create more options for track building. Despite these changes, the character of the game remained unchanged. Specific for 18Namiba are the ‘Concessions’ that are auctioned at the start of the game and the relatively high number of different consecutive train types. The latter make the timing for the purchase of a new train quite challenging.

18Namibagame mechanics are simple. The yellow, green and brown tiles used to build a railroad network on the map. The tracks link map hexes with income values together. The trains(train cards)run and generate income by running from one income hex to another. The revenue depends on both the number of income hexes and the value of the income hexes included in a train’s route.
In the game, the players act as investors and can buy certificates of up to eight corporations. The corporations belong to their shareholders, one of them being the corporation’s director. The director alone decides how the corporation acts. Most important is the directors decision whether to withhold a corporation’s revenue for later investments or spend it as dividends to the shareholders. At the end of the game, the riches player wins.
