@18xx Current state: it works, it is solidly an RGC revenue game, I find it almost entirely uninteresting (true of all RGC and revenue games), other people than me seem to like it, I'm still trying to make it actually interesting, there are glimmers of promise (like raw share count winning over company quality), and there's a possibly (pretty sure not) dominant strategy of spamming out lots of companies (eg 4-6) just before brown. Asides minor details, current focus is on getting the market more active and functioning like a proper market.

@18xx Mergers are unchanged:

• Any two companies, both operated or both not.
• New CMV of largest plus half smaller.
• Singles trade up for delta, director first.
• Combine/unify all assets.

Share redemption and the closed box are gone. Price movements are:

• Up for paying CMV or more.
• Up again for paying double CMV or more.
• Down for paying less than CMV.
• Down again for being trainless.
• Down once per share sold.
• Down once for any shares in pool at the end of SR.
• Up for sold-out.

White area of stock market (under $67) requires two shares to be sold to move down. Plus movements as above for capital calls and mergers.

Receivership and train-leasing is gone. A trainless company has no possible income and just falls down the market until something gives it a train. There are no EMRs.

No more double buys for directors in any cases.

@18xx Yellow trains both price reduced. Current train roster:

• Infinite LtYellow "2", $60 (all remaining discarded from supply at end of OR1).
• 2 DkYellow "2E", $100.
• 3 LtGreen "3", $240.
• 2 DkGreen "3E", $300, rust LtYellow.
• 3 LtBlue "5", $400, rust DkYellow.
• 2 DkBlue "5E", $460, rust LtGreen.
• 2 Brown "2x3+", $600, rust DkGreen.
• 2 Red "2x4+", $700, rust LtBlue.
• 4 Gray "Diesel", $900, rust DkBlue.
• Infinite Purple "Diesel++", $1,200, rust Brown & Red.,

Train limit is 3 until brown, then it is 2 for the rest of the game. Dits count against length for # trains. E trains entirely ignore dits but still collect Cousin bonuses. +trains are infinite dits. ++ trains double dits and cousin bonuses. 2x trains are 2 trains of that type in a single cert and occupy 2 train slots against limit (so they fully occupy a company and are thus hard to buy horizontally).

Reds and browns are possibly under-priced. Trains after yellow are deliberately expensive/over-priced.

Capital calls are simplified (no 11th share):

• Any shareholder of a sold-out company can do a Capital Call.
• CMV to 150%.
• All shareholders must pay the price delta per share or sell those shares at their original CMV.
• New CMV is paid to treasury afterward.
• Caller cannot sell out of company in that action.

@18xx The start packet has been reduced to:

• 2 cousins (pay bonus revenue of their tile, or instead can lay for $free one $20 tile or upgrade, all owner's companies running the cousin get their bonus).,
• 2 floated companies (ie 4 shares@$67) with locations determined during setup.,
• A random selection of 3 of:
  • LtGreen train foundry (take two of the three $160 LtGreen trains, or $160 and discard a LtGreen train from the game).
  • DkGreen: A floated company (ie 4 shares$82) with location determined during setup.
  • LtBlue train foundry (take one of three $200 LtBlue trains or $200 to hand).
  • Brown train foundry (take one of two $600 brown trains, discard all trains company when assigned to a company).
  • Red train foundry (ditto, but one of two $700 red trains).,
• Teleport allows floating a company without a concession anywhere on the map.
• (4+ player only) DuchyOfLancaster (4 shares@$101 of a company in Lancaster, private is worth $2,000 at game end).,

So 8–9 items depending on player-count. All privates pay $20/OR except for the cousins, which start at $20/OR and can go up as their tile is upgraded. There are no set face values. Privates are sold with an 18Neb-style price-finding (hate this) auction (bids are any multiple or raises of $5, losing bids are returned to their players, all items are sold at their bids on an all-pass).

Priority is now rotational LOLA instead of pass-order.
