"1829 (South)" is a railroad operations and share-trading board game in the "18xx" series, first published by Hartland Trefoil Ltd (UK) in 1974 from an original design by Francis Tresham, but is now out of print. "1829 (South)" is based on railroading in southern England and became the first game in the "18xx" series, with the basic game design now licensed to companies such as Mayfair Games and Hans im Glück. The game is also the inspiration for Sid Meier's "Railroad Tycoon" series.
