1889 is a railroad operations and share trading board game in the 18XX series, published by both Wild Heaven Productions in 2004 and Deep Thought Games, LLC in 2006. The game was designed by Yasutaka Ikeda and is set in Shikoku Japan.
The rules for 1889 are essentially the same as 1830, except on a much smaller and terrain-heavy map and different privates. The goal is to make a quick and relatively simple game which explores the history of railroads on Shikoku.
The differences between the versions offerred by Wild Heaven Productions and Deep Thought Game are solely cosmetic — there are no gameplay differences.
