1825 Regional Kit R1: Wales

The fact that you are including minor companies is probably the key change. The board itself is almost a non-change.

edited 2015 - But hey! Holyhead! North Wales!

The minors added in kits R1 and R3 are hardly game-altering, but they do add some flavor, and the flexibility of the minors in when they start and what their share price starts at is a welcome addition. But the minors in 1825 really are minors, in that their effect on the game is going to be incremental, unlike the extremely power "minors" in 1835 and 2038. I like adding them to the game, but as someone who plays 1825 maybe 2-4 times a year, they are just barely worth the investment.

Makes a dull game slightly more intersting

The southern minor is very interesting. The northern is perhaps only interesting when played in conjunction with Unit 3.
