FirstRoundSellRestriction
#Sell Restriction during First (Share) Round
Most 18xx rule that selling shares during the first (share) round is not allowed. However it is not always exactly defined, when the first (share) round is over.
Does all player passing in sequence during the auction end the first stock round? Or is merely the auction interrupted for a short operating round and then the first share round resumed?
For 1830 the standard interpretation (see Steve Thomas clarification) is that all player passing removes the sale restriction regardless if it is during the auction or not.
However for all games currently implemented in Rails there are two rule sets (1856, 1889) which deviate from the standard 1830 interpretation. In the latter games passing during the private auction does not remove the sell restriction.
To allow game groups to have different opinions, how to read and interpret the rules, a new GameOption is added. This allows to remove the sell restriction after
FirstRound: first round of the game ends with all player passing
FirstShareRound: first round, which has public certificates (outside the start package) offered to players, ends with all player passing
Sell Restriction is GameOption with two choices: FirstRound or FirstShareRound. Defaults are selected according to the rules summary below.
FirstRound: 1830 (18Kaas, 18Lummer), 1835, 1880, 18AL, 18GA
FirstShareRound: 1856, 1889
1851 does not allow selling in any company which has not operated. 18EU has no share trading at the start of the game.

Others forbid the sale of stock until the Stock Round after the one in which Corporation stock is first sold. In both cases, these interpretations are unsupported by the rules as written, all authorities, and my group.

Their first Stock Round only starts after the "buying the private companies". Thus all players passing during the buying of private companies has no effect on the sale restriction.

Remark: There is an additional restriction for all companies, that have been floated in the current share round (except PR) .This is an implicit FirstRound restriction. It is NOT an implicit FirstShareRound restriction, as BY can start operating before the StartPacket is fully sold.
