Uncle Lachlan's 18Christmas Eve features the rules, market and tiles of 18Chesapeake, with a new map. The rules are with the following exceptions:

  • New Privates. The two novel privates are the 'Conductor's Hat' which pays 10$ for each room stopped at, and the 'Egg Nog Express' which pays 40$ if a route includes both the bar and DC tile

  • Gifting shares (from rules). During a stock round, the president of a company may ‘gift’ a certificate to another player who has none of those shares. A gifted cert may not be gifted again during that SR (unless lost to another player) but may be sold per the usual rules (including the requirement for a president and stocks in market). Other certs in that company may be gifted though. A gifted cert does not count against the players cert limit for the duration of that SR. A president’s cert may be gifted if the gift will result in the player having the most or an equal-most number of shares. A president’s cert will be exchanged in the usual way if another player has more shares. A gifted cert may result in a change of president.

Uncle Lachlan's 18 Christmas Eve is intended on being a slightly lighter 18xx theme, using the readily available components from 18Chesapeake, and adding some rules to make dumping (and being in a position to start new companies) a little easier. It is presently a prototype and the map and rules (particularly with regards to the new privates) may change

Still a prototype, playtesting will almost certainly lead to changes. Feedback appreciated.

The implementation includes (as far as I can tell) all present rules.
