Tried it with three players tonight. I am really, really enjoying the game. It feels like resources are not quite scarce enough in smaller games (picking up oil and coal for $1 and $2 late in the game tonight felt almost unfair)...then again, I've only played it three times, so we'll have to see if that trend persists.

Edit to add:

We used the US map, with the Southeast, Deep South and Southwest regions available. For our initial city placement, I went with the Southeast, one opponent took Houston, and another Los Angeles. It seems like there's an absolutely brutal penalty for being on the wrong side of the map - expanding past the Rockies is ridiculously expensive.
