Will a developer fix a (small) broken mechanic, or should I fix it before the submission process begins? Thanks for your input. At what point does a (perceived) issue switch from being something minor that the developer will handle, to being something major that I need to fix beforehand? The game is fun (I have to say that, but publishers that saw it at last year's BGG-CON could see the enjoyment even before the setup/explanation was finished)... it's just that there is a chance for players to "lose the wind in their sails" in the last 1-5 minutes. |

What's the etymology of the term “rez” in the Netrunner games? I just played for the first time yesterday and wondered the same thing! |

Is splitting your 3 settlements allowed? I'm guessing he "said so" because it's the correct answer! In any case, I'm more concerned with how the OP got settlements in two separate forests. It's possible... just curious :) |

What should you do when someone mistakenly builds the same building twice? This can happen in Castles of Burgundy as well. There doesn't seem to be a clear-cut answer to the CoB situation, as some buildings have immediate, "Extra action"-esque effects, while other building have game end bonuses. |

How do you make Settlers of Catan work well for 2 players? (Problems and play-tested solution described, alternatives requested) Can't wait to try this (and commenting for personal future reference) |

Can I decide not to use all the power of a plant in Power Grid? Oooh. I see. You can hold double, and effectively keep double out of the market by burning some and storing some. |

Can I decide not to use all the power of a plant in Power Grid? The behavior in the second paragraph still seems illogical. Couldn't you just hold onto the resources? Spending them will put them back in the pool for possible resupply... |

Can I decide not to use all the power of a plant in Power Grid? Two things are clear: the rules don't explicitly mention the possibility in question; the possibility in question is tantamount to returning money to the bank - in this case, 32 electro. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!?!? |

Can I show my resource cards to other players in Settlers of Catan? They have added the specific case mention in the OP: catan.com/faq/2-catan-boardgame/… |

When I put the robber on someone in Settlers of Catan, does the resource I take HAVE to be random? @mafutrct: I have known players to hide a card(s) horizontally behind their other cards while being robbed. Best to have them all laid facedown and a random number generator consulted : ) |

Is it legal to buy property for $1 in Monopoly when other players are in prison? That's interesting... So the game (board, pieces, money, etc) was entirely a "knockoff"?? |

Is it possible to play 2-player, 2-character Arkham Horror successfully? This barely deserves the "house rules" tag... ಠ_ಠ |

Is there any reason to buy the Ascension base game? All the Mechana constructs are 1:1 (cost:VP), though, aren't they? Maybe it's just a preference. I've gotten to the point where I own 40+ constructs, with infinite turns. In this context, the BMII is barely on the radar :) |
