What, Jim's teaching games in three consecutive weeks?  Is the world upside down?

I really like economic games, and this is a good one I got after a screaming sale on Amazon.com ($19!) and a recommendation from the #boardgames chat channel on IRC (Freenode server).  It's a stock-based railroad game, like 1830, but with a much shorter play time and gentler learning curve.  Build rail networks across the eastern US from the east coast toward Chicago.  Chicago has special value if someone can build into there, but there are only so many routes and you only have so much track-laying capacity.  The more money companies raise through stock auctions, the more money they'll have for track development.  Whatever player has the most money at the end of the game wins.

Play time is about an hour or so, but we'll budget 90 minutes so we have lots of time for teaching.

The game can take up to six but I'd like to have a table of 4 or 5 to keep the play time reasonable and keep the game at what seems to be its best count.

Darrin and Cory,

I've double booked myself for this night - I can still run the game but it would have to be at 8:30.  (I might be ready as soon as 8 but it's a little in question.)

Does it bother you if I reschedule Chicago Express until 8:00?  Please confirm.  I'd like to keep you in the game

Jim
