Hello.
Since this question is asked a lot and we can’t answer that for you in person because chances are you’re living on the other side of the globe, I figured I very quickly explain it here:
Mathias is an Erzieher (~Educator) and studies Educational Science at the TU Braunschweig. He became a professional game designer through a difficult education like: Till asked him: “Would you like to join?” and he answered: “If I have to.”.
Optional rules are great. They can enhance the game and give it new dimensions of play as well as a variable depth. With optional rules can you – the player – play the game in a way you like the most. This is why we’d like to provide you with the most important ones. Why they are not mentioned in the manual you ask? So that I have something to do… -.-* >> >>
Although Till and myself have tested the rules thoroughly over an extended period of time there are some things which are a bit unclear.
Following are the questions regarding the rules that are asked so far.
Now that the game is released we played a lot with players outside our test group and found that some things are not as clear as we hoped they’d where. Unfortunately we couldn’t prevent this because as long as there is a finite number of test players there will be a finite number of question. >> >>
