Introductory Game
A one-era version for a shorter first game.
One Canal Era
For a shorter first game, play the Canal Era normally and do not continue into the Rail Era. After the normal Canal Era scoring, add:
- Money: 1 VP for every £4 in your player area, up to 15 VP.
- Income: VP equal to your income level. A negative income level loses that many VP.
- Industry: score the printed points again for each of your level 2 or higher Industry tiles still on the board.
Highest score wins. This variant does not replace the normal Canal Era setup or rules; use the additional scoring only after its end-of-era scoring.
