Checking in. I read the rules, and have a light idea of what I am doing.

It seems like you want to get your stations on the board early to get some income going. Then later game pivot to share ownership. They key being on when to jump into shares. Too early and you don’t get much income. Too late and you lose the larger shares.

One thing I couldn’t find is where on the map does your meeple start? The setup gives you the meeple, but I don’t find anything on when or where it is placed on the board.

What you have posted so far looks pretty good.

There is a note in the turn order that players other than first get some extra cash on the first turn. Probably making up for the fact that I get first pick of the good stuff.

Should we start by now give a location of our meeple?

If people bid 0¥, then turn order doesn’t flip. So I should be second in this round. It flips if people make an actual non-0 bid and tie.

Looking at the rules, it appears that there should be 8 white discs with ¥ on them. Those are loan markers that are used to track loans. For this game, it can probably just be tracked After speed tokens or shares.

A3 top, start the N line

I think my buying a share of the N line starts it, so this is not a valid action.

Speculation doesn’t actually block a speed token, does it? Isn’t it just limited to two speculations per train line. Just making sure I understand how everything works, and how you are making things work.

Some Numbers posted:

Thanks for catching my mistake. And my meeple is where it is supposed to be. With only one station left, The only way to be at a buildable location this turn was to ride a train to a not so great area.

I wish to take a loan. I think C5 is the loan taking spot. If I have it backwards, then go on D5.
