1847: Pfalz (1990)

About this game

1847 - Pfalz is an 18xx game set in the German Pfalz area. There are 4 quarries, train builder "Krauss &Co." and the directors of 2 of the 5 major companies (6 in a variant game) in the starting package. The rules are similar to those of 1835 with a few exceptions concerning private companies, tile laying and some small other issues.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 3.7/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
