Can a route be included in more than one destination ticket? To put it another way: all that matters is that at the time you score the route card, your network of track connects the two cities on each card. In some versions, it's possible to have the same route multiple times; they all can use the same chunks of track. In versions with stations, the station has to be used for one specific chunk of track, but all routes can use that one track "borrowed" using the station. We place the station over it to indicate its use during the "proving" of one's tickets' completion. |

What is a good board game to use for a programming competition Diplomacy relies too much on negotiations, treaties, and other hard to implement elements, especially given the conditionals in most treaties. It wouldn't end up playing like diplomacy, even tho it might look like it, unless someone had the backing of the Jeopardy bot team... |

Public knowledge in Settlers of Catan? The discards, however, are required to go back to the correct piles, so the information becomes public anyway. |

Cribbage score going out Good catch, Adam. Fixing... changing the Q to a 9... slightly less likely t get a go, but I've floated a 24 for a go more often than I care to think. |

Supporting Routed Units in A Game of Thrones +1: the one time I played, all 6 players came to agreement that, by the wording of the rules, this is correct. |

Recommendation for D&D players who want a faster dungeon/questing game after dinner? Which was, still, an RPG, albeit of the hack-n-slash variety, and bordering on boardgame. |

Can Russia and Japan Follow A Mutual “Hands Off” Policy In Axis and Allies? That treaty was kept more by Apathy than by act of will... Russia really didn't have much force in the east. A&A is mildly ahistoric, as well. |

Recommendation for D&D players who want a faster dungeon/questing game after dinner? Battlelore isn't short, and isn't light. Figure 20-30 min setup, 60-120 min to play, and 10-30 min to put away. AGOT is several hours - 4-6 is common from what I've seen. |

Recommendation for D&D players who want a faster dungeon/questing game after dinner? It's also an RPG. The current version has done away with most of the boardgame elements. |

Official Rules for Hand and Foot? those rules are not the ones I've encountered... any of the three variants... which said, boil down to number of needed canastas (always 5; v1 2clean 2 dirty; v2: 3 clean 2 dirty; v3 2 clean 3 dirty), and always black 3's are worthless, and red ones cost a clean canasta each if caught in hand; you can never pick up a black three from the discard, nor any thing below it, and you draw 3 cards, not two, total from discards and deck, and declare which before drawing. |
