Do you really need that in the picture to understand it ?

The rule on page 24 is very clear. Put the enemy by the players threat dial. Not sure how much clearer it can be.

 

 

Yes. I like my instructions to have all aspects of the game listed as clearly as possible. That includes listing all relevant discard piles in illustrations of play.

Most people will probably agree that's what the rule is saying, I think some people just prefer if it's explicitly stated when a situation contradicts the normal rule.  If page 24 said, for example, "...one player should place it near his threat dial, instead of placing it in the discard pile..." that would provide something closer to the crystal clarity that some players like to have.

Seems silly to me but whatever. I would rather play than argue every little bit of tiny minutiae in the rules. Its a game after all.

And with this not being a competitive game, I think minutiae are a little less important.

Now with Signature!

Looks like we'll have to agree to disagree on that point.

I'm often surprised at other people's idea of 'clarity'. Implicit rules are always less clear than explicite rules.

The rule on page 24 'clearly' contradicts the rule on page 20.

So, either the rule on page 20 should state that only cards not granting VP are placed on the discard pile and/or the rule on page 24 should note that this is an exception to the rule on page 20. That would make it explicit rather than implicit, and thus more clear.

Seriously, we know that is how its supposed to work so why argue over it. Sit down and just play the game and enjoy. I'm sure this will get put into the first FAQ just to shut the argument up.

I am really surprised that there are so many people bothered by this. Well, I have to admit it could be put clearer, but I don't think there is any room for doubt the way the rules are. Even it might see contradictory, from a point of logic the rule on p24 will have precedence over rule 20.

I don't care about the rules much anyway, I rather enjoy playing and when there are questions we can use the ffg forums. Nice to have them! :)

Lets hope that LOTR forums will remain as friendly and mature as they are now cause you know what huppens in forums if a game is popular.Ofcourse this huppens more at video games and online games and i want to believe that things in the forums of a card game are different.

It happens on any forum. Even here sadly.
