18ES Caminos de Hierro

18ES Caminos de Hierro (Paths of Steel) is a game of the 18xx family based on the spanish railways in the 19th century. As other 18xx games, there are two main elements. A map where the players build railways and create routes, and a stock chart where users buy and sell shares. Players can buy shares in several companies, a company is not associated with one player, but only the director of each company (the player with the most shares) operates the company (build rails, stations, and buy trains). 18ES has several mechanics not present in other games of the series, as build contracts, and company takeovers. The game finish when the national Railway company R.E.N.F.E. is formed and take over the rest of the companies.
