The Essential Companion for 18XX Board Game Players
18XX Bank takes the guesswork out of setting up your 18XX board games by calculating the optimal poker chip distribution for both the bank and player starting cash. Whether you're playing 1830, 18Chesapeake, or any of the 98 supported games, our smart algorithm ensures you have the perfect chip setup every time.
KEY FEATURES:
• Extensive Game Library - 98 18XX games pre-configured with accurate bank sizes, player counts, and starting cash amounts. From classics like 1830 and 1846 to modern designs like 18DO and 18NewEngland. 94 games include direct links to official rules.
• Smart Chip Distribution - Our advanced algorithm optimizes for minimal chip handling during play, prioritizing the denominations you'll use most. Games that exceed your chip inventory are clearly marked and disabled.
• Custom Chip Inventory - Configure your exact poker chip collection with custom denominations, quantities, and colors. The app remembers your setup for future games.
• Realistic Chip Visuals - Beautiful 3D-rendered poker chips with authentic shadows and highlights. Choose from standard Vegas colors or customize your own.

• Chip Calculator - Quick chip counting tool for game endings. Count your chips at the end of the game with stepper controls and real-time totals. Works with all denominations in your chip set, including custom values.
• Unlimited Bank Games - Full support for games without bank limits. The app automatically detects and handles unlimited bank scenarios.

WHY 18XX BANK?
Setting up chips for 18XX games can be time-consuming and error-prone. Different games have vastly different bank sizes (from $6,000 to over $40,000) and player cash requirements. Our app eliminates the guesswork by providing mathematically optimized distributions that minimize chip exchanges during play.
Start your games faster and focus on what matters - the gameplay!
Note: This app is a game aid and does not include the actual board games. You'll need physical 18XX games and poker chips to play.
