'''Goal of the game

Earn the most money by investing in railway companies and expanding their networks across Ireland.

'''Game flow overview

Irish Gauge is played over a series of turns. On your turn, you choose and complete one action from four possible options (see below). The game ends when the last dividend cube is drawn from the bag.

'''Start of the game - initial auction

One share of each railroad company is auctioned, starting with Yellow. Taking turns clockwise, players bid on the Share up for auction. The minimum bid is the large printed value on the Share Certificate. Players may pass and if they do they may not re-enter bidding for that share. The winner becomes the starting bidder for the next share. Continue until one share of each company has been purchased; each player may end up with one share, or multiple, or none.
