## Rules questions

### Do I have to issue more shares during the game?

No. You may issue zero or more shares during the Issue Shares phase, but you cannot issue more than the available spaces on the Issued Shares Track. Each share gives you $5 immediately, while also increasing your expenses later. (Rulebook, p. 4)

### How much do I actually pay when bidding for player order?

The last two players still bidding pay their full bids. The other players pay half their bid, rounded up, while the first player to drop out pays nothing—even if they had already bid. (Rulebook, pp. 4–5)

### Can I build track anywhere, or does it have to connect to my existing railroad?

Your first track tile must be adjacent to a City and connect to it; every later tile must ultimately connect to a City through your track. Your railroad may contain separate, disconnected links, but you may not build a tile that directly connects to another player’s track. (Rulebook, p. 6)

### Can I move goods along another player’s railroad?

Yes. Goods move along Completed Railroad Links, and they may use links owned by any players; each owner whose link is used increases their income by 1. The good must end in a City of the matching color, may visit each City or Town only once, and cannot travel more links than your Engine Track allows. (Rulebook, p. 9)

### Do I get to move two goods during the Move Goods phase?

Each player gets two opportunities, conducted as two rounds in Player Order, and may move one good in each round. In one opportunity, you may instead advance your Engine Track disk by one link. (Rulebook, p. 9)

### What happens if I cannot pay all my expenses?

First pay as much as possible with your cash; then reduce your income by 1 for every dollar still owed. If your income falls below $0, you are eliminated, and your ownership disks are removed from unfinished track sections. (Rulebook, p. 9)
