1947 is a railroad game inspired by the 18xx Series and is set in India between 1836 and 1947.

This 18XX game introduces some new mechanics:

- Convertible Bonds, to finance your companies

- Savings Shares, so a player can avoid becoming a Company president - however they also reduce your dividend.

- emigrations

- temples to reach with your routes for travelling pilgrims

- seasonal climate (monsoon, dry, fertile, intermediate)
