A collection of guides, links and other information primarily aimed at people who are new to playing Free Enterprise. All of these links should exist within other sections of the wiki as well, but this should be a great place to get started!

**NOTE:** Much of the NPC dialog has been replaced with helpful tips and descriptions of what has been changed in Free Enterprise, so a lot of this information can be discovered while playing the game itself! Check the Training Room in Baron Town for a summary of the changes.

If you get stuck and don't know where to go check, be sure to check the [[https://goo.gl/xZiwbo |Newbie Guide]].
