1849 RULES CLARIFICATIONS

20% Shares

Q)
Player A is president of a company, and has four shares 2+1+1. Player B also has four shares 2+1+1 and buys a fifth, seizing the presidency. A hands the president's double to B, and B gives two singles in exchange. A refuses to accept these, and insists that the double is exchanged. Who should decide, the outgoing or incoming president.
A)
(Undefined in the rules) The outgoing President decides which shares are handed over.
Bonds
Q)
What happens to an outstanding Bond marker when a corporation is closed.
A)
(Undefined in the rules) The simple solution would be to simply discard it. The trouble with this is that you can abuse the rules so it would seem that a better solution would be to say that the old President 'receives' it and has to pay it off there and then.
Bankruptcy
Q)
What happens if a player goes bankrupt while still in possession of a Private Company.
A)
(Undefined in the rules) The Private company is discarded (closed) and does not re-enter the game.
