Irish Gauge
Players develop railways across a map of Ireland by buying shares, laying track cubes, upgrading towns to cities, and calling for dividends. On a turn a player either places a share into auction, builds track for one of five companies, upgrades a town to a city, or triggers a dividend payment; dividends pay shareholders of companies based on the cities and towns their networks connect and on how many shares have been issued. Upgrades and dividends influence game length and future payout chances. The game ends when an endgame condition is met after a turn; final scores combine cash on hand and the value of owned shares.
