Thanks, Erik, for considering this and for looking into it. If there are further thoughts (from you or Andrew), I'd be interested to know too about the clarification questions I raised in my previous post concerning "all the munchkins" in the relevant paragraph from page 8 of the rules. (Or, if it is more appropriate, I could make a new thread just for that.)*
Thanks again.
*p.s. While Andrew's clarifying insights or relayed developer input would still be welcome regarding the main question of the thread, the side question about clarifying the meaning of "all the munchkins" has been addressed by Andrew in
another thread here., i.e. it means both the main munchkin and helper, if any.
