	MicroProse Buys out Hartland Trefoil
		Hartland Trefoil Ltd., the specialist board game company that originated Civilization and the '18XX' game system, have [sic] been bought by MicroProse Inc., the American computer game company who have been producing the computer version of this game.
		Francis Tresham who founded Hartland Trefoil in 1974 will now be available to MicroProse in the origination of new computer game concepts.
		Even more significantly, the highly qualified Hartland development team has transferred intact to a brand new company Tresham Games Ltd. The first priority of the new company, which retains the former directors, will be to ensure that '1825' remains available and that new Units and kits for the game system continue to appear.

	1853 Game Review
		It is purportedly a "tracklayers" game--even the box cover advises that it is a "game for Engineers who've had enough of the Financiers." This game was actually designed before 1830, although it wasn't published until 1989--three years after 1830 had appeared.
		1829 is copyright 1974 and 1981 by Hartland Trefoil Ltd. for its respective railroad games on Southern and Northern England.
		Hartland Trefoil was purchased in December 1997 by Microprose Software, which in turn was purchased by Hasbro Inc., in August 1998.

	The fight over Civilization
		Gaming company, MicroProse, has sued competitors Activision and The Avalon Hill Game Company over the rights to the name "Civilization." MicroProse is determined to prove that the company Hartland Trefoil, which was recently purchased by MicroProse, owns the rights to the Civilization franchise since they developed the original board game carrying the name "Civilization."
		MicroProse didn't appreciate this move, since their two computer games carrying the name "Civilization," Sid Meier's Civilization and Civilization II have done great in stores, and is their most profitable brand name, selling over two million copies worldwide.
		MicroProse claims the name belongs to Hartland Trefoil, which they conveniently purchased last year.

	A Short History
		Of these, perhaps the best known is Sid Sackson, designer of Bazaar and Acquire and a great many other games for Parker Brothers, Milton Bradley, and the much-lamented 3M games venture.
		Also of note is the British Hartland Trefoil group, creators of the 1829 series of railroad games and Civilization --the boardgame, not Sid Meier's computer game of the same title.
		And perhaps it is in the nature of the massmarket boardgame that this be so: the market requires rules that can be learned in a minute or two, and there are only so many possible permutations on the board, the plastic pawn, and the die.

		This is significant in that Avalon-Hill, who was the American publisher of the Civilization boardgame, was suing MicroProse for copyright infringement.
		They had previously bought out Hartland Trefoil, copyright holder of the ORIGINAL Civilization boardgame (which is not related to the computer game except in scope).

	Sid Meier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tresham also designed a board game called "Spanish Main" which could have been an inspiration for "Pirates!", but there seems to be no written evidence for that.
		In 1998, MicroProse purchased Hartland Trefoil Ltd., eliminating any risk of copyright conflicts.
		Games that have been developed by Meier span three decades.

	Evolution of German Games
		Monica was already familiar with Hartland Trefoil, having encountered its 1981 release, Civilization, which had proven to a war-game audience that a strategy game didn't have to recreate a war to be interesting.
		The Avalon Hill Game Co.'s 1983 official company history called Civilization it's "sleeper of the year" and credited Monica with showing it to the company in the summer of 1981 and urging them to publish a US version.
		At Essen Monica met Tresham and arranged to become the United State importer for Hartland Trefoil.

	The Fall of Avalon Hill
		Even wargamers would be hard pressed to name more than a few AH computer products, and nothing ever came close to impacting the general public like SimCity or Quake.
		Francis Tresham designed Civilization and manufactured it through Hartland Trefoil in 1980.
		In December, MicroProse bought Hartland Trefoil, Francis Tresham’s services, and all the rights to Civilization and the 1829 rail game system (AH did 1830, also a decent seller).

	An Introduction to 18xx by Peter Berlin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		The popularity of the games is a tribute to the playability, originality and adaptability of the system devised by Frances Tresham for 1829 and refined by Avalon Hill for 1830.
		1829, about the development of British railways, was published in 1981 (at least that's the earliest copyright date on any of my versions) by Hartland Trefoil.
		There are two games, North and South, but the system is identical (it is also, I am told, simple but not necessarily wise, to play using both boards shoved together).

		Although it has published Sid Meier's Civilization all along, MicroProse solidified its association with the Civilization brand yesterday when it acquired Hartland Trefoil Ltd., the creator and publisher of the original Civilization board game.

	ManorCon - The Games
		Also like Diplomacy, the players get plenty of opportunities to financially embarrass their fellow players (in other words, get the knife in and give it a good twist!).
		The original 18XX was Francis Tresham’s 1829 South, set in southern England; this was published by Hartland Trefoil way back in 1973.
		In the late 1970’s, 1829 North was released, which covered northern England and Scotland.

	[No title]
		In 1980 the toy manufacturer Avalon Hill started selling a board game titled Civilization that they licensed from a company called Hartland Trefoil.
		There is also a Brittish version of Civilization available that is slightly different, manufactured by another company that licensed the rights directly from Trefoil and a French version that is also different from the Avalon Hill version.
		Since Civilization was one of MircoProse’ most successfull games they took a radical step to protect their product: MicroProse bought Hartland Trefoil, the original designer of the Civilization board game, thereby ending any claims Avalon Hill had to the title.

		Civilization and me got back quite a few years.
		Although i didn't own it, I did play the original Hartland Trefoil game, but ended up buying the Avalon Hill version, along with its Advanced Civilization expansion.
		This is truly a wonderful game, its only drawback being that it takes all day to play, but the pleasure in seeing your initial token expand and grow and become a full-blown civilization over time is something that every gamer should experience at least once in their gaming lifetime.

		In an ironic twist, there is now a board game based on the computer game version of Civilization.
