Which tile does that apply to? I can't find any misfits here.

This is done, except for the special token lays and the M&H/NYC swap.

Restricting tile lays to extend existing routes also depends on that.
However, I could pretty easily add a restriction that a new tile should
connect to some existing track, except on a home base.

Route determination is the biggest issue still left. Next year!
