Even if Contracts had been more highly utilized back when Arcadia

own no pipeline. If you want to get more paper to help you legislate
more, you have to ask someone with a paper pipeline to help you out when
you have basically nothing to give in return.
Imagine joining a game of Monopoly with the starting amount of resources
and being expected to keep up with all the players. Also, the only
properties that are open are a couple light blue ones and a brown since
the ones that people actually land are already bought and have hotels.
In this situation, you will be screwed over by everyone and you can't do
anything.
Sorry, but I've got another quick thing to add. It's worth noting that
Arcadia 2018 didn't even reach a point where this was a real issue for
new players, not really. These paragraphs are just my conjecture of a
likely reality based on patterns apparent in the Arcadia rules. That
being said, though, I do think this is the most probable reality if
Arcadia had survived through the bugs and initial balancing issues.
