Re: [Rails-devel] 1835 share selling

[Erik V. <eri...@xs...>]

But err... where do the 1830 rules say so? I can't find it.
And the 1830 PC game does the same thing as Rails: keep the selling price
equal until the end of the turn, regardless in what order shares of any
companies are sold.

It's what makes 1830 fun. :-D

Maybe we just need a "cutthroat" mode?
