Pass

Yeah, but normally it's seating order right?

Yes.  It would normally be seating order.

I expressed a desire to use turn order (so that we wouldn't need to keep track of seating order).  I played that way my first 2 games (FtF) and didn't really notice a difference.  Tables actively agreed and no one objected, so I ran with it...

Also, FYI for anyone that missed it.  I added a bunch of info to the first post (like turn summary, $/city powered, triggers for Step 2 and game end, and restock rates.)  Basically tried to hit all the info you would normally have easy access to while playing the game.  And I'm keeping a link there to the latest full game-state post, if you want to find it quickly.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

huh? I think my position is better than bozz's.... yeah I'm closer to you guys but I have cheaper connections...

[Outside commentary] But you're going to get stuck.  You realize that yellow region is excluded, right?  I think Qvist is in an OK spot too.

Oh, thanks for the heads up. I didn't see that. Is this the only region excluded?

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

I was hoping against hope to see 14-19 flip for like, 3 straight turns. ;D

Ah well. Can't complain too much.

I don't think I've ever had a game where the teen plants flipped in a timely fashion.  Last game I played, I bought the 31 as my second plant.

I just hope now that a nice pretty 20 will come through... Sometime next round.

hey I just realized I have the most money so I can auto-win this... though I don't think I'm willing to pay THAT much...

25 is just like a gazillion times better than 24. Kinda imbalanced... by design? 39 looks strong too.

...and somebody is going to get 25 as their second plant!

it seems like you guys have some of the plants memorized? I've only played this once... but I won! :D I don't know any of the plants...
