  That's a very interesting suggestion! I think what I should do is first get the basic game confirmed as reasonably well dialed in, and then decide, in light of how the game plays, what to use those tiles for. But yah, if they were railroads (or airlines?), then it would seem reasonable to be able to use them to travel quickly to another "terminal" on the board. Thanks Phillip for the idea. And you're right about my time right now. But I'm going to print out your e-mail and drop it into the HM file folder.
