Clemens makes three changes to the original rules, which are all implemented in rails: * When buying a certificate from the Start Packet, there are no restrictions on the order in which certificates may be purchased; a player is free to choose any certificate remaining in the Start Packet. Each player in turn may choose any of the remaining certificates (some of which include an additional certificate, i.e., the Saxon director's share with the LD private) for purchase. (These combined certificates may not be separated when purchasing from the Start Packet.) * The very first run of the first stock round is done backwards, all others take place normally. E.g., in a game with four players the first run is 4-3-2-1. Thereafter every run is 1-2-3-4. (Exactly once player 1 has two turns in succession.) * The Pre-Prussian minor companies will not operate until the Bavarian (BY) floats. However, the private companies will pay out if the BY does not float. I do not see anybody playing the original rules any more, so I think this variant is mandatory for Schlesien/Coalfield. Oliver |
