Rule Clarifying
Still so glad I've gotten back into this game since I picked it up coming back from Afghanistan. It's remaining a big hit with the newer of the gaming groups I play with.
I'm just hoping somebody could clear a few things up for me. I've since dug into the rules and looked about, and things that have since been made apparent to me I've written in bold. Face-up Cards: The face-up cards referred to in-game cards and seen in TableTop are simply the discards, yes? Those are placed in the discard pile face-up? This has been clarified for me. If a card says 'draw a face-up treasure' that just means a new treasure, but place it face down before putting it into your hand, allowing others to see. General Card Management and Charity: This is a big one for me, but I'm gripping it now. I remember there being a chunk about this in the rules, unfortunately as mentioned I don't have my rulebook. If I could get an elaboration on cards and the concept of the Charity part. How many cards can you hold? Is it infinite as it appears in TableTop (thanks to editing the show down to 30 minutes)? Not including the items you have equipped, is there a limit to Race cards you can hold, how many potions/items and such? From what I've read - players have their items equipped (two one-handed items plus one two-handed/big), then items carried (infinite one-handed, one two-handed/big) which are turned sideways. Players can tuck their cards in to being carried to avoid charity, apparently? So what do you give away - anything? I (evidently like others here) thought it was just items, things with a defined gold value, but apparently it's anything? We've not had too many problems, but what must you pass down to the lowest-level player? If I draw a few level 1 monsters at the start into my hand, can I just hold on to them all to play at the end of the game? What cards can you just straight-up discard (i.e. "Hey, I have Elf, Cleric, two Thief cards and a Warrior, I only want to be an Elf")? Somebody has since cleared it up that you can't retain race cards. Do you simply play them when you get them, or lose them for good, then? With sideways cards, as I've read here - seems in essence you keep your items (cards with gold value) on the table, with things you have equipped facing vertically and items 'carried' being horizontal (adhering to rules such as 'big' limits). Expansions: Do you just end up with an enormous 6-inch-high pile of cards players draw from? And on that note, Fairy Dust, is it a pile that's meant to be kept separately? Apparently I actually had this right. I've yet to get ones such as the Dungeons add-on, I'll assume that will be different but I know they come with a rulebook. Game Start: Is TableTop correct? After starting the game, people equip their weapons and play their races and such when they start? This sort of makes me think going last would be better, as the first player might come across a superior monster and can't be offered any help, as the others wouldn't have equipped anything. Apparently it's a case of "either or". Cheers for any assistance, all. Happy New Year. |

As I said before, Items you have in play are carried, used or not, and yes, you turn the Items you are not currently using sideways. Quote:

So, though it's not wrong, it's also not the only right way, either. |
