1883: Building Railroads in Northern Italy
1883: Building Railroads in Northern Italy is a hard Italian railway game where random events keep turning the table over from round to round. It is a distinctive experience for players tired of the usual fare, but not a safe recommendation.

1883: Building Railroads in Northern Italy is not the sort of railway game I would put down on a Tuesday after work in hopes of unwinding. It is a hard Italian train game, with random events that can alter the landscape every round and make you reconsider whatever you thought you were building.
You need a fairly strong stomach, because any sense of stability is short-lived. Yet that constant upheaval is precisely what makes it an experience: a table that never settles down and never lets you play on autopilot.

If you are bored with the rest, it is worth a look. Otherwise, the classics are probably the better home.
