Can a tank attack across water within the same space (Germany to UK)? What do you mean 'same space'? Germany and the UK are two different spaces, so they're not in the same space... |

What are the differences between the four editions of The Settlers of Catan base game? My 24 year old Kosmos edition with German cards and separately printed English translation of the rules has the 'noone gets any if there's not enough for everyone' rule... |

How can I minimize Black Market set up and clean up time? I've always used option #3, and it works fine. If you accidentally get a card you shouldn't, just draw another. |

Am I at legal risk if I use a mechanism from another game in my own design? Apparently you're not familiar with U.S. Patent 5,662,332 (google.com/patents?vid=5662332) |

What are the rules differences in Empires in Arms? These claims match my vague recollections of having played the ADG version many years ago. |

Poker texas holdem combinations: tie or not tie? For pairs, highest pair wins; kickers only matter if players have the same pair. |

Where can I find good tile layouts for Settlers of Catan? @Justin: Sounds more like the generator deliberately weeds out those setups where its better to go first, leaving just those where it is best to go last... |

Buying houses and selling hotels in a housing shortage @warren: only if you have other things to invest your cash in. Otherwise, a 4th house will at worst cost you $25 if you're forced to sell it. Buying hotels may end up costing you $375 and leaving you unable to get back to the 3 house level, even if you only need $1 |

Buying houses and selling hotels in a housing shortage An interesting ruling. Means you pretty much NEVER want to buy hotels on the light blues or dark purples -- build up to 4 houses and stay there. |

What happens when you need to tear-down a hotel but no houses are in the bank in Monopoly? the OR means you normally have the choice, but obviously if there aren't enough houses, you can't take the choice of selling one house at a time and must instead sell "All hotels on one color-group at once" |

In the Great Dalmuti, should I be attempting to improve my seat position or shoot for the win? I don't understand -- every hand you're trying to go out as soon as possible, as that gets you the highest score AND the best position for next hand. So the strategy for scoring more is the same as for going for a better seat. Perhaps you're asking when you should be targetting a particular player (trying to prevent them from going out) as they are in the lead rather than trying to go out yourself? |
