- I haven't seen any errata for 1853 (which is indeed India), but there
- are a couple of supplements. The first supplement just adds some more
- track tiles. The second adds some new stock cards and optional rules.
- The new rules (as far as I can remember without having them in front
- of me) are:
-
- A new setup procedure, which doesn't use the bidding for
- contracts from the basic game. The setup in the basic game
- is somewhat confusing, which is probably what your friend was
- complaining about, but it is fairly complete and doesn't
- really need errata in the sense that something was ambiguous
- or left out. However, the designer has now had second
- thoughts about the whole thing, and completely changed it.
-
- A new set of cards which add more director's shares to
- companies (and control of a company is now determined by who
- has the most director's shares), and the ability to create a
- new town or close a town for a turn with civil disorder.
-
- I haven't had a chance to play yet with the supplements, so I can't
- comment on how the affect the game. I think both are in the $5-$10
- range. I got mine at Games People Play in Cambridge, MA; they take
- phone orders: (617) 492-0711.
