Board18 Overview

BOARD18 is a tool for playing “18xx style” games via Email.

The BOARD18 game session associated with a PBEM game is used to display the game board and the stock market for the game. It will run as a web service accessed via the player's web browser.
The How To page linked to here contains step by step instructions for setting up a PBEM 18xx game.

BOARD18 is open source software available under the MIT License

NOTE: For more information on 18xx style games, see this wikipedia article.

Note that only 2 game boxes are included in the Download ZIP file. This is due to file size considerations.
Additional game boxes should, of course, be downloaded and added to a BOARD18 web site. Follow these instructions when you wish to do so.
