I dont think I qualify as a 18xxfag since I've only played 1889 and Lost Atlas (both on TTS), but I'm loving it
I started checking out the rest of the 18xx and it seems true to me that it doesn't lose much of the substance compared to the others
You can play micro, short or long games
In a short game it's 4 cycles instead of 6; In some games it kinda felt like it ended too soon but it allows for games that do not last more than 2-3 hours
Long games have the full 6 cycles but with "just" 2 more cycles you can easily double the playtime because at some point you'll have enough money to start more companies and have more shit to do
The expansion adds more minor companies which is nice, and landmarks which I don't plan on trying because they look a bit too whacky for my tastes
I'm on the lookout to grab a physical copy, last week i've seen one on secondhand markets for only 60 euro but I missed the chance, now i've seen another but it's 100 euro and the box is ruined :\
