TOP TEN 18xx Accessories

[@truce11]

Not an 18xx player but well done with this video. Didn't know about the handy vac tool.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

This is an excellent video. If I were doing this list, I'd include a simple laptop computer with a spreadsheet that accumulates dividend revenue during a set of operating rounds so you can pay it out to players once at the end of the set rather than bit by bit. It saves quite a bit of time.

[@18xxtraining625]

Thank you Eric, I actually considered mentioning using a spreadsheet, but ended up cutting a lot to try to keep it under 10 min.

[@hydnastrident]

what do you think of apps like 18xxc that do operations/dividends calculations? i'm not a spreadsheet wizard but would like to get more into these games.

Hi! Could you put a couple of link of examples were to purchase the handy vac and jewelry boxes? Nice video!

[@18xxtraining625]

Thank you for watching. The links are in the video description. TheDisplayGuys 25-Pack #11 Cotton Filled Cardboard Paper Jewelry Box Gift Case - Marble White (2 1/8" x 1 6/8" x 3/4")

[@18xxtraining625]

I normally just buy then from the local walmart

[@18xxtraining625]

I just checked the link from Amazon. They seem to be out of stock of the vac tool. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0824CBLB6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I got my knockoff vac tool from eBay. Works fine

[@18xxtraining625]

@@123larry4567 I am glad you were able to get one.

Thanks so much for making this video. I am unsure if the jewelry boxes you linked to will work for 18xx shares. The linked boxes are of a different brand/size from those in your video which were made by CousinDIY and are 3' x 2 1/8" x 1". The link shows #11 DisplayGuys boxes are 2 1/8" x 1 6/8" x 3/4". When I measure the shares from 1862 and 1849, they are both roughly 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" which would not fit in the #11 DisplayGuy boxes you linked to. I wonder if the measurements posted on walmart and amazon are incorrect for the #11. Have you actually used the #11's and can confirm that they are indeed big enough for shares? Thanks for any additional info.

[@18xxtraining625]

The ones in the video are correct, I buy them at a local walmart, I may have provided a link to the wrong item, good eye. Thank you for watching.

[@18xxtraining625]

I just double checked the correct size is 3 x 2.125 x 1, I fixed the link. However now it is for lots of 100, I buy them locally by the dozen.

[@dr3putt62]

Where do I get the accessory box and chips?

[@18xxtraining625]

I bought the box from amazon, www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DL2NZDC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the poker chips I ordered from Apache, www.apachepokerchips.com/product/bank-18xx-board-games-poker-chips/

[@TomMcCorry]

Do the chips have 50’s…😉

[@18xxtraining625]

They do now
