Good Euchre bidding strategy guide? You don't bid a number in Euchre, so the sentence before your disclaimer doesn't make much sense. |

Good Euchre bidding strategy guide? "The dealer determines the trump suit". That doesn't seem like an accurate statement. The only special power of the dealer is picking up the turned up card if anyone declares that suit trump. |

How is a roleplaying game not a board game? Why is it not possible to be both a roleplaying game and a board game? They seem to be more a continuum than an absolute. Some things are pretty close to the middle. Example: boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/127324/story-realms |

Why do cards have different rarity levels in Magic: The Gathering? "so now that we know the rarity of cards is simply an indicator of the worth of the card in actual gameplay" I completely disagree with that statement. I'll give you a deck of handpicked (weak) rares and play a deck of handpicked (strong) commons and I guarantee that the commons will win. |

Is it possible to lose Forbidden Island on the first turn? Its definitely not in the rules. It's a bit different from Pandemic, where you would only go through the pile once. Here you'll likely shuffle the deck a couple times during the game as well. Each Waters Rise card is executed separately, so the second one just ups the counter without having any additional effect (which is much less painful than consecutive Epidemics in Pandemic causing an automatic outbreak). |

Is splitting your 3 settlements allowed? @gbianchi There is no rule that specifically states this is allowed, because it is clearly implied by the lack of any rule that says that all 3 of your settlements must be built adjacent to each other, or within the same chunk of terrain. Each settlement is placed individually, following the rules for individual placement. |

Is there an unofficial term for an artifact that produces mana? I'm pretty sure the name refers to the Moxes, not Fellwar Stone. |

Bridge bidding - how do I decide whether or not to bid 1NT with weakness in a particular suit? Good answer! The key point is not to fixate on NT just based on what you're holding. Use your bidding conventions to convey your hand to your partner, and then find what fits best for both of you. |

Why is there a bonus for holding honors in bridge? Isn't having 4-5 of the highest trumps privileges enough? Its not entirely true that they would cancel out in duplicate. They only cancel out if trump ends up being the same. A different bidding sequence could lead to not scoring the honors. |
