Fuel Depots
Build a Fuel Depot – This add on action is available to each player two times in the game during the Build Track action. For an additional $5,000 the active player may place up to 2 Fuel Depot tokens on a single city to which he is connected, and which does not already contain any other Fuel Depot tokens (regardless of color). When delivering through a city where you have a depot, you may ignore the color of that city and continue through it by removing one of your Depot tokens.
Fuel Depots may also be used to make a longer delivery with a smaller level engine: during a delivery, a player may "stop" in a city where they own a fuel depot and end their action (keeping the cube in front of them). On their next action, they may continue with the delivery. They must remove 1 fuel depot marker every time they stop in a depot if they wish to extend their action. If they do not continue with the delivery on their next action, the cube is discarded. It only costs 1 Fuel Depot token per city whether you wish to ignore the city color and/or extend the cube delivery.
Once the Fuel Depot Tokens are expended, remove the Fuel Depot miniature.
Example: Mike has a black cube in City A, a 4 train, and a Fuel Depot token in City B that is 4 links away. On round 1 he takes his cube from City A to his depot in City B (4 links away). (No points are scored at this time). On round 2, he removes the Fuel Depot token from City B, and travels 3 more links to City C where he makes the final delivery and now scores a total of 7 points for the 4 links from City A to City B and the 3 links from City B to City C.
Mines
This add on action is available to each player two times in the game during the Build Track action. The active player may pay $10,000 to place a Mine. They immediately choose a grey city and begin drawing cubes from the goods bag until they draw a cube that matches the color of a previously drawn cube (maximum of 5 draws). Place the cubes drawn on the grey city, after discarding the matching cube. Leave the Mine marker as it shows that this Mine is depleted and nobody else may mine in that city.
Switch Tracks
This add on action is available to each player two times in the game during the Build Track action. The active player may pay $5000 to place a Switch Track of their color anywhere on a piece of their existing track. This player may now build another track segment off of this connection following all normal track-building rules. This means any track placed on the new switch link must be completed to another city before the Income Phase or it is removed.-including the Switch Track marker.
Think of a Switch Track as a 3-way connection for 3 cities. The image shows only 1 of the possible configurations – the new link can continue into any adjacent hex where you can legally build.
Hotels
Players may place these markers on the map to help them and other players remember the extra income they collect when deliveries are made to their cities!
