You are not allowed to “sit” wherever.

First:
It’s important to play playing cards. When you time-out, the participant to the fitting performs random playing cards to fill out your non-locked registers. (p. 4) Locked registers WILL be performed.

Second:
All motion Playing cards used however not locked are discarded, as are unused. (p. 4, 8) New ones might be drawn.

Third:
You solely get one draw of an possibility card per flip, and provided that you END the flip (and thus additionally Register 5’s section) on it. Crossing it in the course of the flip does not get you the cardboard. (p. 8)

fourth:
The percentages should not good in 3p or extra that you will get the playing cards wanted to return to your begin house.

Tenting on a restore spot is thus not as straightforward as it might appear. Particularly since you keep solely locked playing cards. If one will get persistently fortunate sufficient to have the flexibility to return to start out spot with playing cards alone, it is nice. If one is utilizing terrain, it is talent, greater than luck.

Briefly, I believe the issue is not the choice playing cards, however a misinterpret of the foundations.

If there was no misinterpret, one easy answer is to make use of a 1 per house restrict; put a (customized) participant token on every improve spot, and whenever you draw an possibility card, put that token on it. When it is misplaced, put the token on an improve slot the place you do not have one.

I’ve by no means felt it wanted, and the folks I’ve identified who did normally had been making considered one of three errors:

1. retaining unused programming playing cards, thus with the ability to plan a number of turns forward
2. retaining used programming playing cards. This makes it a VERY completely different recreation.
3. permitting repairs and upgrades every register section, quite than solely on the finish of the flip. This makes tenting on a spot much more worthwhile.
