Irish Gauge

In the Irish Gauge board game, each player's turn offers multiple choices. You can place a share of one of five companies up for auction, build track (represented by cubes) within these companies, upgrade a town to a city, or call for navidends. Navidends are paid to shareholders of specific railroads based on the number of cities/towns they connect and the number of shares issued. The upgrade and navidend actions impact the game length and the probability of future navidends for each company. The game concludes when a certain condition is met at the end of a player's turn, and the player with the highest sum of money and stock value wins.

To play Irish Gauge, start by setting up the game board with the five companies available. On your turn, you can decide to place a share in an auction, build track using the cubes provided, upgrade a town to a city, or call for navidends. When it comes to navidends, keep an eye on how many cities and towns the railroads connect and the number of shares issued. This will help you maximize your earnings. Remember that the upgrade and navidend actions can change how long the game lasts and how likely you are to get more navidends. The game ends when a specific condition is met at the end of a turn. To win, aim to have the highest total of money and stock value. As for maintenance, keep the game pieces in a safe place and make sure to clean the board occasionally to keep it in good condition.
