Chicago 1875: City of the Big Shoulders [OFFICIAL]

Description
After the great Chicago Fire of 1871, the brave men and women of Chicago sought to rebuild their once-great city, and rebuild it they did. Over the next 60 years Chicago experienced an economic golden age, making such great progress that it hosted The World's Columbian Exposition in 1893, followed not long after by a celebration of its Century of Progress at The World's Fair in 1933.

Many of the household brands we've come to know and love today had their start in Chicago during this time period; Oscar Mayer, Kraft, Quaker Oats, Nabisco, Swift & Co, Armour & Co, Schwinn Bicycles, Charles Schwab, and many others made a home here in this tall, bold slugger.

In City of the Big Shoulders players take on the roles of entrepreneurs and investors seeking to rebuild Chicago into a city fit for the world stage. In this unique merger of 18xx-style stock manipulation mechanics with euro-style gameplay, players start companies, trade in shares, hire employees, equip their factories, produce goods and sell them to be delivered to homes across the midwest.

Developed by Xenoxsis with love. <3

@wringlesteine Sadly no - I have lost contact with Parallel games, and are unable to update the mod. I did have a version with more automation (money especially) in the works, however with no way of updating the mod it's dead in the water.

I have added some automation to my copy of the mod and would be interested in sharing it (mostly distributing the revenue and moving stock tokens). Is this mod still being kept up?

the meeple partners are standing and not lying down. Am I doing something wrong?

The table color is a little harsh on the eyeballs

@Styk It was a mistake during testing. But I have no way of updating the mod presently, so I can't get them removed.

Why are there some loose cubes on a couple of the company boards?

I'm also getting the reported glitched board and missing/broken audio file. http://cloud-3.steamusercontent.com/ugc/1652223731755776350/E3E0353C039F5C9ECDDC7F662F5D15E4FFC5724D/

Hi JH, On discord you can look for groups both on the Official Tabletop Simulator discord channel and on another one called TTSClub - you can try there (there might be a lot more, but I've seen people look for CotBS games on there)

anyone know of any groups who play this? Hard to ever find anyone who already knows how to play

I have the expansion files, and I'll start working on getting the expansion in there soon :)
