Report history
In fact, I watch french video rules of Gigamic (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft-4FJpZG7Q). And this point is not very clear (english video rules of Gigamic is more clear on this point www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AM_909kBaM).
I will update implementation as soon as possible to take in count this rules !
Thanks for your reply. The moral here is that you very much can't trust a rules video. Often they will be correct and comprehensive but how would you ever be sure of this? They very very often leave out rules and rarely but sometimes just have a rule wrong.
The rules documents from the publisher has to be what you work from. I had a terrible time finding the rules for this one and so like you I watched the videos too, certainly not a bad step (as long as it's not the only step). After lots of searching I finally did track down the rules and I have added a link to the PDF here for your game in the "how to play" section. For good measure I posted them to BGG too because that's where many folks will go looking for them.
I very much appreciate your work in implementing this game here. Thank you very much!
Cheers,
Jeremy (who's going to keep testing it until it's good :-)
I deploy a new version this morning. This version contains the corrected rules. (I think this time is OK with the PDF rules)
And next time, I will read rules document better than a rule video ^^'
Damien/Lyconide
Thanks for the fix! I've played several games with the rules correction and it is working great. Nice job! :-)
I've got that one outstanding graphics suggestion and a second graphics point I'll put in a ticket for shortly.
