Gold Rush Tile Reference
Introduction
The distribution list here is organised by the topology of the edges. For example :-
- MMMM is one on which all four sides are mountains
- PPPP in the game distribution lists below denotes a tile on which all four edges are prairies, and
- RRRR is one on which all four sides are railroads
The tile notation and headings are ordered alphabetically, according to the following hierarchy :-
- Mountains (M)
- Prairies (P)
- Railroads (R)
Practically speaking, that means that a mountain is always placed at the top, and the rest of the tile described clockwise from that starting point. If there is more than one mountain, the first mountain - again seen clockwise - is placed at the top. If there is no mountain at all, then a prairie is placed at the top, and so on.
