Always a Bridesmaid

Last Monday, Union Pacific made it to the table again (at my suggestion).  And once again, I came in second.  And once again, the reason I lost is that I was tied for first on the Union Pacific shares instead of having a clear majority.  And yes, once again, it was Jason B. who snapped up that crucial share and caused the tie.  I lost by such a small amount that this would have made the difference.

I think I played well, but I should have been paying more attention to the UP shares than I was. Maybe my fate is to always come in second in this game.  I still really enjoy the game, and it’s a shame it’s out of print.
