Standard tournament games are played with four players. Each player draws a tile and places it on the board. The player whose tile is in the topmost row closest to row A goes first. If more than one player selects a tile in that row, then the player whose tile is in the leftmost column closest to 1 goes first.
All players place these tiles on the board. Then, starting with the first player, each player draws six tiles. Tile placement falls in one of four categories. The tile placed could be an orphan, adjacent to no other tile on the board. The tile could create a new chain of tiles, and the player who placed it on the board would have the opportunity to found a new chain.
The tile could increase the length of an existing chain already on the board. Or the tile could link two chains, causing a merger of two or more chains. Since there are only seven hotel chains in the game, placing a tile that would create an eighth chain is not permitted. When a player founds a chain, he receives one free share of stock in that chain.
If, however, there are no shares left when the chain is founded, then the founding player does not receive the free share. Chains are deemed "safe" if they have 11 or more links; placing a tile that would cause such a chain to be acquired by a larger chain is also not permitted.
After a player places a tile, and the results of that placement have been handled, he may purchase up to three shares of stock.
A player may only purchase shares of stock in chains that have already been founded. The price of a share depends on the size of the chain, according to a chart that lists prices according to size. It gives players a chance to test their skills and wit depending on the strategies they adopt.

The more tiles it is made up of the more expensive it is. If you ever place a tile between two corporations they merge. The bigger one will take over the smaller one. The three players with the most stock in the merged smaller corporation get a payout based on the size of the merged corporation.
The player with the most stock gets the biggest payout. Then in clockwise order starting with the player that placed the tile any player with stock in the merged corporation may trade for stock in the bigger corporation at a ratio of 2 old stocks for one new stock. They may also sell their stock in the old corporation. The selling price is based on the size of the old corporation before it was merged. Or they can hold onto their stock and hope that corporation is founded later in the game.
Once a corporation is made up of ten tiles it cannot be taken over. It is considered safe, but can still envelop smaller corporations. You are not allowed to place a tile that would cause two of these large corporations merge.
If all corporations are safe or one corporation is made up of 38 or more tiles, the current player can choose to end the game.
