I've heard that these games are hand-copied and illuminated by monastic scribes and each copy takes 15 years to prepare and costs a village and a half, is it true and why?

VVV: Yes you did. But it's still a good subject to address if you're making a new 18XX thread.

So you end up with deep thought games costing upwards of $50 (potentially more) and since it's literally one guy and there's a backlog, it take 7-11 months to order a game.
Is there some way I can send the guy his markup and just get a set to print & play?

I'll just leave it here:







Maybe it's old news, but I found a 1886 graphic remake by Carthaginian of BGG fame. As I have a pet peeve with good games with crappy graphics, this looks much better.

Would love running commentary when available. I think I would enjoy following a game more than playing one. :v:
