I just realized that Tim cannot reenter the auction, so I have won. I don't have my copy of the game with me (at work), but I will try to bring up my vassal copy at lunch and make my choice.

Alan

I will buy Minor #2, for $220+$30.

Chris, since you were the first to pass, do you bid first?

I also want to let you know that I will begoing to Origins on the 5th, through the 8th. I do not know if I will be able to get PC access, enough for this agme at least, while I am there, but I will try.

It continues in turn order, following the person who made the purchase - effectively, after passing once I was forced to continue passing. Thus, the final bids were:

Tim 35
Alan pass
Chris pass
Tim purchase

And now it's Alan's turn to place a bid.

p.s. have fun at Origins. If you're interested, the Puffing Billy folks are sure to be playing 18xx.

Thanks. I checked the event listing and they have two different 18xx categories. I will try get in a few games, for sure.

Now, back to the game. I bid K15.

K25

Pass.
