Age of Steam-Ireland

[Woodall]

Did either of you have 0 prestige at end of turn?

[rstites25]

Ah. It looks like Mike didn't. I guess that explains it.

[egg_salad]

I figured I boogered something up.

[rstites25]

If you want to play again, let me know. I can set it up for you to play Sparta this time.

[egg_salad]

When I get back, let's talk.

[l'amour]

I did the locomotion.

[rstites25]

Have you made it back to civilization yet Mike?

[egg_salad]

In Dublin at the moment.  I am pretty sure I wanted to increase my loco.  Can someone do that for me?

[Woodall]

I'm sure we can manage that. I'll do my turn when I get home tonight!

Enjoy Dublin - I heard they make a mean Dr. Pepper.

[l'amour]

Dublin is ace.

[rstites25]

In Dublin at the moment. 

That's some real dedication to the game.

[Woodall]

So, we're still on turn 1, right? The turn marker is confusing me. I'm just guessing we're in the 2nd half of Turn 1 because my income is 1 and not 2.

Edit: (I see now the Ireland rules have it start one to the right)

[Woodall]

Haha - just realized I'm going to go bankrupt. For some reason I was thinking I'd have to pay for my 1 issued share and 1 loco. Forgot that our initial cash comes from 2 standard share issuance prior to game start. Mike will bankrupt as well?

I must have no been paying any attention last game to the whole mechanics of this thing.

[rstites25]

Close but not quite.

Right now you're at 1 income, 3 shares, 1 loco, and $0. If you deliver another good for $1, you'll get to $2 income, which will give you $2 cash. You'll have $4 in expenses, $2 of which will come from cash and $2 will come from income reduction. That will put you back to $0 income...but not bankrupt.

Mike will be able to deliver a good for 2. He has $2 cash already, will get $2 more, and then be able to pay his $4 in expenses from cash.

[rstites25]

Oh. But you don't have a good to deliver???
