Or even post it in the 18xx.games Slack channel.
- Same rules as 1817 except the following:
- No private companies.
- Corporations can only IPO as 5-share.
- 10-share companies have 10 short shares available.
- Auction bid winner of corporation gets another turn immediately.
- The auction bid is paid to the bank. When a new corporation IPOs, the stock value is half the bid amount, rounded down. The corporation receives 2.5x the stock value and three shares are placed in the market.
- There is no restriction on when a corporation can be shorted after it has IPOed.
- Corporations that formed during the current stock round can buy trains as a part of the stock round as a corporate action.
- Corporations may only buy new trains from the bank, not from other corporations or the discard
- 4-train is changed to $300
- Game end trigger is the 4-train and ends after a full set of 2 ORs. There is no short sale restriction on the last stock round of the game.
- Other changes to the map, tiles, and trains should be obvious from the 18xx.games interface.
- Cross Train Purchases - allow corporations buy trains from others
