18EC is a new 18xx gamekit published by Wolfram Janich in 2005. Available in kit and ready-to-play form, in both English and German, the game is set between the east coast of the USA and the Mississippi. The game has a larger-than-usual bank and a very large map, leading to a long game, even for 18xx titles. May be purchased directly from the designer in kit form or ready to play.
