[h1]What’s 18Korea?[/h1]
18Korea is derived from the long-time loving genre ‘18xx’ which has its origins in the game ‘1829’ produced by Francis Tresham. 18xx is great series. But at the same time, it’s undeniable that it takes pretty [b]long time[/b] to play and [b]tricky[/b] to master. What we tried to solve the cons in the making of 18Korea can be summarized below:
[list]
[*]Shortened Playtime
: We tried to shorten playtime from an average 18xx’s 5 hours to 2 hours. To do so, we mainly tried to prevent the later part of the game from being prolonged.
[*]High Replayability: You can meet 30 different asset cards in 18Korea that can be added to each company. Asset cards can help companies to raise more money, save some opportunities for later or hinder other players’ strategies. Asset cards are presented randomly at every game, so you can play plenty times of games with different conditions.

As you can see in the title, 18Korea is based on the regions of the Korean Peninsula and its simplified version of railroad history. Since many 18xx series are based on European, we wanted to make what’s not shown in the previous series. So not only the map but the historical event we wanted to bring here.
And of course, there's a reason that we are Korean too.

In the middle of the gameplay, the Korean War outbreaks. Since then, every city is destroyed and you cannot run companies in the North part of the map. So it’s your choice whether run companies in the North to make high revenue before the war or run in the South stably.
[h1]Update Plans & Playmode[/h1]
18Korea presents two types of play for now. Local and online for 2~5 players. As long as the game and every player’s name are saved, you can stop the play and continue to play anytime.
For now, there are not many various play modes like 'versus AI' or modes with special settings yet. We'd like to provide as many as playgrounds we can. But since we have to prepare the game well from the basics, so additional content will be added later on, step by step.
It is significant that you guys play 18Korea with no inconvenience and plenty of fun. For that, we'll open Discord channel soon to communicate with you and gather any kind of opinion.
We'll let you know any news or information you may want to know about the game.
See you soon! ːsteamhappyː
