I just received my copy from the Kickstarter campaign in the mail. My wife and I got in a 2-player game last night and we really enjoyed it. Now we can't wait to play it with more people. Has anyone else received their copy?
A couple of questions cropped up that we did not find addressed in the rule book.
(and we found a typo
)
1. When you buy a tile from a stack, when do you flip the new top tile face up? Immediately? or during your Gathering phase? or after your turn? We could not tell. We played that you had to wait till your Gathering phase so that it would prevent one player burning down through a stack. In this way a player may only purchase one tile from any one stack per turn. Not sure if it was correct but that's what we ruled.
2. Can you freely change tiles in and out, and rearrange tiles, of an incomplete building? We ruled Yes because the rule book partially addressed this by allowing tiles to be added to or removed from incomplete buildings. It didn't address rearranging but we lumped it in together.
3. At the end of your turn you can claim a tile by placing your pawn on the particular stack. If at a later time you want to claim a different tile can you move your pawn freely? Even though you did not purchase the original tile you claimed? We ruled No - because you affected the other player's buying power on one tile. It didn't seem to be good play for you to just be able to hop from one valuable tile to the next without buying them just to be a nuisance to your opponent.
I think that's all we came up with so far.
