What this is
Test their economic mettle as they build and network in the Industrial Revolution. This turn order mechanism opens some strategic options for players going later in the turn order, allowing for the possibility of back-to-back turns. The cards limit where they can build their industries, but any card can be used for the develop, sell cotton or build connections actions.
