If both are possible, the field is correspondingly divided. If you chose one of the two dice, you confirm your choice with OK and click on the field where your own truck is to drive. On each field, a maximum of two trucks can stand in a city. In principle, there is no compulsion. If you are in a city, you cannot continue on the same train with the remaining points. However, superfluous cube points may be disintegrated.

Loading truck

If the truck is on hand before or after dice in the starting location of an order and if you have sufficient free loading capacity, you can start the order by clicking the loading symbol, as well as subsequent selection of the corresponding order, and charge the goods. If the capacity is sufficient, any number of orders can be processed simultaneously.

Charging takes place analogously to charging when you have reached the target city of an order.

Trailer

To increase the load capacity of the truck, you can buy as many trailers as you like. To do this, click the corresponding symbol and then select the desired hanger. There are four hangers with the charging capacity 4 and 6 at the cost of 2000 € and 3000 €. The current stock will be displayed in the status display on the left next to the draw-down pile: on the left the four-hangers, on the right the six.

Trailer

If you don't want to perform any further actions, you can finish your train with the "Replay" button.

Acquisition of public contracts

If a player full Number of cubes arrived in any city, it has to offer either one of the four open orders to auction or remove the first (left) order from the game. A new order then moves from the stack. If the stack is used up, only the existing orders are offered. If these are also used, the purchase of orders is not necessary.

The selection window can be moved like all other windows by right mouse button.

The auction

If the active player offers a public order to auction, the co-players can bid or match a higher bid in succession. Whoever fits, leaves the auction. Whoever offers can not set the price arbitrarily, but must offer one of the five bid levels of the order.

The active player must only be equal to the maximum bid. As soon as all players have fit or had to fit, the auction ends. The highest bidder receives the order and must immediately pay the price of his bid. If no one offers anything, the active player will receive the order for free.

Event cards

Event fields are marked with a red-white triangle. Whoever comes to stand on such a field with his truck without having to drop cube points must take an event card from the hidden stack and execute the prescribed action. After completion, the card comes out of the game.
