Game Instructions:
Delay until the Next Board Meeting | Game Instructions |
---|---|
0 | Getting the Board together takes time. During any given meeting, you can vote on multiple agenda items: you might remove board members and take a decision about the next activity of the railway in a single meeting, for instance. Once you conclude a session, however, you will not be able to reconvene until after your next visit from Time the Healer, so you may want to wait to gather several agenda items before you begin. |
1 | The members of the Board are busy. You will not be able to reconvene until after the next visit of Time the Healer. |
Unlocked with a redirect from Recommend a Board Member, Into the Boardroom, or Review the Agenda
Wiki note: In addition to checking the prerequisites for agendas, consider this guide about opposition from board members carefully; having stiff opposition from specific board members can be very unpleasant. Also, do remember that before you pick any agendas, you can still leave the boardroom without calling for a meeting.
