It’s a ¥100 action, add in the ¥300 for buying the B share, and you get the ¥400 that SN posted.

It's still a 3-token action rather than a top/bottom card, so SN can unpick this one if he wants. Post coming shortly.

Guess I should put on my glasses before posting. Looked like 400 to me!

e: I've just looked it up and there's a cap of 8 on loans - we're currently at 7. If it becomes an issue I'm tempted to houserule them to be unlimited because I've not been keeping a close eye on that count.

I think the only way to pass is by selling your disc to the bank for 100 yen.

Thanks so much for running this game Mr Squishy. I enjoyed it a lot.
I think just the C line is missing 500 from the last station it hit and is currently in, but doesn't change the overall outcome.
Speculations in this game are brutal, especially two on one line (lookin' at you Orvin on my M line).

gg to all

Thanks for running this. It was fun.

Definitely need to change up the strategy after playing once. Extra action tokens and loans early are way more important than I thought. Stations can wait a turn or two, especially when trains are not running.

I realized in time that speculating is way more powerful than buying a B share. The fact that speculating gets your seed money back makes it basically free money.

FACKER

Speculations also sort of 'guarantee' you a certain payout whereas someone can buy a second or third stock or speculate on the line again and dilute your share of the revenue.

I agree I would change my earlier turns. I tried to minimize my money spent while maximizing my actions, but I think that came at a cost due to taking the discount space. Though the discount spaces are really good for building multiple-station locations.

Everything I did was trying to avoid loan payouts at the end, and that meant I didn't have a lot of operating capital turn-to-turn; guess I needed to just bite the bullet and have a loan or two

Hey Squishy; I was talking about this game on Twitter and Jordan Draper himself popped into the thread to check it out; he's very complimentary of you running this whole shindig
