Oh, Mr Porter!

Railway Rivals 3 – Round 6

Reports from previous rounds: 5 4 3 2 1 start-up

The game enters the racing stage at the end of these builds. TTYF! linked various towns in the west, while SLOTH WORST TRAINS built closer to London, hugging the coast a little, and also connected to the ports. TOOT was connecting and laying short branches as well, and DECLINE finished the route across Romney Marsh to the east. SPAMTRAK connected to the last town, Newhaven, and to the west edge of the board, as well as an expensive track east from Tonbridge into the Vale of Kent. LOL tunnelled under the south Downs near Devil’s Dyke, to connect to Brighton, and then built towards the western edge.

You may enter up to four races.

Next turn’s builds – up to 10 points.
(Building happens after the races. These points are not used for payments to others for junctions and parallel tracks, which will come from your account.)

Late orders will be fined a point for each day late in future

Orders without the Corporation name or colour will be fined 5 points in future.

If you are doing a joint run I need both players to send in the route, or 1 player to send it and the other player to write “as route by X”.

If you are exchanging running powers I need to see this in both players’ orders.

Any race not run will be added to the next turn’s races.
