About the game
This is very small 18xx game set in Trinidad. It has two versions: one for use with the 1830: Railways & Robber Barons rules, the other with 1835 rules. Separate components for both games are included. The map has a mere 12 hexes and each game 3 "major" companies. It is good way to teach the system to new players. The game was professionally published by Marflow Games. It is still available for download here. Just download the map from the image section. For a complete game one needs a set of track tiles (1830 or 1835) and some additional material from 1830 or 1835.
