Re: [Rails-devel] 1889 rules bug

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Hi Justin,
you are right, that Rails does allow 70% for 1889 2 players.

This is against the rules, but we use it frequently as a house rule for 
two player playing. And I was lazy to add a game option for that as you can 
still restrict yourself to 60% if you prefer the original rule.

The current setup for 1889 here is identical to Rails 1830 implementation, 
which also allows 70% ownership for 2 player games, against the rules.

However it is a little questionable if 1830 rules support 2 player games: 
Table 5 (money) does not contain 2 players, whereas table 3 (certificiate 
limit) does, but the rules also state that 2400 is distributed evenly between 
the two players.

I could add a game option for 1889 (2p 60% vs. 70%), does anyone vote
for a similar option for 1830?

Stefan
