General Information

Or even post it in the 18xx.games Slack channel.

Same rules as 1817 except the following:
No private companies.
Corporations can only IPO as 5-share.
10-share companies have 10 short shares available.
Auction bid winner of corporation gets another turn immediately.
The auction bid is paid to the bank. When a new corporation IPOs, the stock value is half the bid amount, rounded down. The corporation receives 2.5x the stock value and three shares are placed in the market.
There is no restriction on when a corporation can be shorted after it has IPOed.
Corporations that formed during the current stock round can buy trains as a part of the stock round as a corporate action.
Corporations may only buy new trains from the bank, not from other corporations or the discard
4-train is changed to $300
Game end trigger is the 4-train and ends after a full set of 2 ORs. There is no short sale restriction on the last stock round of the game.
Other changes to the map, tiles, and trains should be obvious from the 18xx.games interface.
