Mental note:  Man, what a weird acronym - On the other hand, I think it's Spanish for gold, so it can't be all bad!

As I was hoping, I was able to get a test play in on a three player game. Player #1 began yellow at $12, Player #2 went with Red at $10 and Green at $9 and Player #3 started Blue at $12.  Game went pretty well for yellow with trains moving fast and furious in the first three operating rounds.  #2 had to dive into his own pocket to save red with $20 to help buy a train.  Blue had three trains at one point but started Purple at too low of a par and was $1 short to start building track from Mobile.  Yellow placed a blocking station in Birmingham which messed with L&N's north/south run so they built a siding to the west.  All told, #1 won with $352, #2 was second with $319 and #3 was dead last at $223.  

Overall it progressed nicely with three.  I can't decide if I like the game better with three than two.  Companies had interesting decisions to make the entire game and upgrading home towns seemed to help dividends out.  The first 3D train gave Green a nice jump in income.  More cubes and a higher par price might have made green much more potent in this game.  I was surprised Red made it to the top of the stock ladder.  Total game time edged toward 90 minutes, maybe a hair less.  Not sure how I feel about that, but things were engaging, so I'm not too worried.  I have to get this one out with my brother at some point to see if it stays at 90 minutes or rockets up as he tends to put a good deal of thought into each of his moves.

More playtests soon, but it played out really well.
