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.
