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 99 supported games, our smart algorithm ensures you have the perfect chip setup every time.
KEY FEATURES:
• 99 Games - Pre-configured with accurate bank sizes, player counts, and starting cash. From 1830 to 18DO, now including 1864: Forty-Niner and 1880 Romania. 96 games include direct links to official rules.
• Smart Chip Distribution - Optimizes for minimal chip handling during play, prioritizing the denominations you'll use most.
• Custom Chip Inventory - Configure your exact poker chip collection with custom denominations, quantities, and colors.
• Realistic Chip Visuals - 3D-rendered poker chips with authentic shadows and highlights. Standard Vegas colors or customize your own.
• Custom Games - Create your own with custom bank size, player count, and starting cash. Perfect for variants and house rules.
• Chip Calculator - Quick chip counting tool for game endings with stepper controls and real-time totals.
• iCloud Sync - Keep your chip configurations synchronized across all your Apple devices.
• Built for Every Screen - On iPad and the unfolded iPhone Duo, player and bank chips sit side by side. On a half-folded iPhone Duo, everything stays clear of the fold.
• Rules Links - Access official game rules directly from the app for 96 supported games.
• Premium Features (Optional $2.99/year):
- Multiple Chip Sets: Manage unlimited chip profiles for different venues and games
