Description

18EZ is the first 18xx game designed from the ground-up to help players learn the 18xx system. The game uses a series of levels, which allow players play entire games quickly while learning the different phases of the game in bite-size pieces.
 For instance, In the first level, players learn how to build and manage routes. In the second, they are introduced to the stock market. Each level adds an element of interest for the new player, and keeps the game exciting.
 After completing all of the levels, players should be able to jump right into any 18xx game, without having to learn the entire complex system. They will just need to learn that specific variation, which will allow them to be competitive in what would otherwise be an hours long, painful session!
