I've only watched the intro so far (roughly under 16 minutes). I loved the dynamic of one of you asking for clarifications, and the others answering. Great, quick, way to go over the rules.

My kid’s school taught him “…and you don’t get upset.”

Rewatching this because I finally got a copy of my own coming (Thursday). Laughed a little at 1:34:50 - Shazzner - "Also we're almost done." Only two hours forty to go!

1822pnw please

can any player buy a private that has been reduced by another player in the auction of private companies????

Where did you get it? Who makes it??

How high do you rate 22CA?

Have you guys played 18OE?

Great to see more vids! Reviews and thoughts on 18xx would be sweet as well. Take care guys!

I am glad that guy is not shuffling my cards.

Have you ever played 1825 with all boards and extensions?

DIA is dead in action,

Could have used the yellow calculator for the bank. 😁

Great play through. I'm really enjoying this one as well. I was surprised how few of the level IV trains were purchased.

When you get a random draw there is a possibility of getting a really good draw, a mediocre draw or a bad draw. If you auction off the stuff, that would probably help with the randomness, though it would reduce the amount of money you have to spend in the first stock round. Having said all of that, this still looks like a fun time. Thanks for showing it off.

Starts with a cackle, I like it already! 😂

Awesome Video 🎉🎉🎉

Great stuff!

Can it be played without 1817?

UHF references! Yes!

Great steam! It would be amazing if we could also see the shares/portfolio of all players

Glad to see you guys back. I started watching this live and zonked out. Finished on the yub tub. I should have commented live but zonked out. Take care guys. Never had a chance to play this. It looks interesting.

Thank you for video. Is this game good for start 18xx? What game better to try 18xx series? What you think about 18 India, that now on preorder?

Is it me, or the camera facing Shazzner and Layton seems to be reversed? Shazzner is on the left and Layton is on the right. However, the camera showing the table/board, Layton is on the left and Shazzner is on the right.

I love 24. I wonder how much I would enjoy this one.

Wish i was there. But, got overruled by a trip to Maui. Watchin from the beach instead. Oh well.... I so would like to play 18korea.

It's not as complicated as I thought, but doing things right at the right time is the hard part

Do you mind linking the poker chips you're using?

Shared can only be redeemed if after redeeming at least 60% shares are in players hands or in the market. The redeeming in SR2 & 3 are not according to the rules

> 28:40 [in 18xx you always start companies. In RS there are reasons not to, but I can't work them out.] If you only own 50% of the major you get half the revenue compared to player-owned privates. The privates is where most of the cash increase comes from, so that's a big deal. There are two ways majors can help you make money: (a) they let you realize synergy bonuses; and (b) they can print money by issuing shares. There are three ways you can get money out of majors: selling privates, paying dividends and funneling the money to another major which does some of the first two [Oh and in Stars but not vanilla RS, some majors have powers which make your more money]. Note that issuing shares has anti-synergy with paying dividends. So either don't issue and run a good non-diluted company, or issue shares and loot the company [which is tricky], or just sit on your privates. Here's a heuristic: start majors if and only if their capabilities let you earn more money. Shares are not very liquid and liquidity is king, since that's how you increase your earnings. Does the star system overvalue major-owned privates relative to player-owned ones? That is, do they contribute more stars than their face value would contribute in cash? If so, that nudges you in the direction of cheaply inflating your stock price, issuing shares and looting the money by overpaying for player-owned privates. But you can only overpay by so much. Does the 3p deck have four companies of each color? That's the case in vanilla RS, which cuts down on synergy opportunities and pushes more in the direction of player-owned privates. Combined with aggressive rusting of reds and oranges pushes a lot in the direction of grabbing the high-ROI privates and mostly sitting on them. I'm toying with the idea of having three players play through a 4p deck, just to have more synergies (and slower rusting of red through yellow). > [near the end: I don't understand why I lost] My first-order heuristic is "how many of the highest-ROI companies did I control [say, for >50% of its lifetime]?" Aim everything else at having the liquidity (and value) to buy more high-ROI companies than everyone else. ... I can't exactly call myself an RS expert, and I'm 0 plays into RSS so I'm a total noob. Add salt to my ideas according to taste.

What are the rules for auto-foucus? There are no rules for auto-foucus.. ~ laughs ~

audio is shit

If Rolling Stock (v1) and Rolling Stock: Stars (v2) are the same in this regard, you misplayed the foreign investor: it is only allowed to buy horizontal companies, not vertical ones-that is, it cannot buy a company that was pulled from the deck this round. (Players also cannot buy these companies.)

Basically 18USA on a smaller map?

All the past live streams got deleted?

Sandwich cam was the best part!

Why dont other 18xx use this style of market?

The K tile is not allowed in Orlando.

This game can be a little rough to learn, but it is truly one of the greats.

I don't know how you used so many loans. Our first game, no company asked for a loan, none were close to the receivership and it ended because one reached 450. I imagine you played it like this to show how it works

Really fun to watch you guys playin !

How would you rate this one then?

Well, after watching the BC play through this a couple of times, I am intrigued. If it becomes available in a reasonable manner, I might try to get a copy. Hopefully, by then, all the rules questions will be dealt with. I suspect that someone has not thoroughly worked out all the combinations of special powers and edge cases.

This is thing is wild. It might be fun to try out, if it becomes available.

Thanks for doing this playthrough I play this on Steam but would much prefer to play it live - where can I get a copy? I know you say in the video but my googling skills didn't produce any viable results 😅

How did shawn have enough money to float the NSW by himself? i think he's 150 or so short

sound is terrible

Love the pronunciations of the cities 😀

This game is wild. The auction is a big deal in this game. Shazzner got dumped on, though mostly at his own malfeasance. Good game, guys.
