Beat this ploughshare boyo!

New rules.

New player aid.

In a fit of masochistic self-pity I proffered the rules for criticism on the Spielfrieks mailing list. Happily they weren’t gentle.

  • The most common complaint was resolution of turn order, specifically the handling of values of shells versus fish and whether or not multiple players could bid on the same route. It is likely that “bid” is the wrong word for this section but I’ve yet to come up with a better one. Rewritten

  • Clarified that bidding on a route also explored it

  • Clarified that deliveries could use other player’s routes

  • Clarified that only directly connected routes produce during delivery

  • Clarified that discarded fish, shells and kula are returned to the supply

  • Clarified that kula may be re-given

  • Re-ordered prestige generation rules for clarity

  • About Explorers and Proas section removed, content rewritten and folded into the Explore and Delivery sections.

  • Duplicate content removed from Delivery (specification of stopping at first island with a matching market)

  • Further annotated and signalled Advanced Game portions

  • Other small edits

  • Matching changes made to player aid
