Crayon rails variant #72(a): pick your contract

Deal the initial cards normally. In addition to the normal contracts, flip up three contract cards, as in a "public contracts" variant. When you fill a contract, take your choice of one of the face-up contract cards and replace it from the deck; if the replacement is an event, resolve the event as usual and draw a new card. If you discard contracts, draw new ones from the face-up cards one at a time, replenishing after each card.
