Oh, what are you supposed to start the game with? I was a bit fuzzy on that.
Players start with 5 francs and 1 coal; the offers start with 2 francs, 2 fish, 1 wood, 1 clay; the town starts with Construction Firm and 2 Building Firms already built. Pages 2-3 of the rulebook is a step-by-step setup diagram. I recommend following it... very carefully. ;)
I wonder whether this group would enjoy the shortened game more.
For that, players start with 5 Francs, 2 fish, 2 wood, 2 clay, 2 iron, 1 cattle, 2 coal and 2 hides.
There are various other differences regarding what is in the Offer, which buildings to use, etc. It's all at the bottom of page 2 of the rules.
Page 1 of the rules suggest that, with two players, playing time for the shortened version is 63% less than the full game; with three players, 33% less.
