Quick question: are there intended to be functional differences in the rules?
Here is what the 2nd Edition rules say:
Quote:
The second edition
A few changes have been made in this, the second edition of this game. These are a result of feedback from players, and more extensive playing than was previously available before the first edition was printed.
Notes on how to play the original game are included at the end of these rules.
The purpose of the changes is to simplify game play and provide greater opportunities to develop the western half of the board. They consist of an alternative board with three additional hexes, two additional russet hexes for use with this board only, and one rule change.
... [and later on] ...
Playing the Original Game:
If you want to play the game using the original rules, use the original map and play as per above with the following amendments:
· Use the side of the board with fewer hexes and not featuring Totland.
· Small stations may not be ignored on company runs. Halts may still be ignored, however.
