Do you have to have exactly 60 cards in a Magic the Gathering deck? To add to @thesunneversets 's comment, you're also limited to a maximum of 4 of any specific card (besides basic land) so a larger deck will also contain a wider variety of cards that may or may not work well together. The best smaller decks tend to be focused around a fairly specific play style - cards that will symbiotize. This is much more difficult with a large deck. |

What are some alternatives to using dice in Settlers of Catan? The basic idea is that, because of the pips being drilled out, the "1" side is slightly heavier than the "6" side, so over time you would expect it to fall toward the bottom. On casino dice (precision dice), the holes are filled flush with a colored but otherwise identical material so that this variability is removed. |

Clarifying house rules for Monopoly The "2x payday" is borrowed, if I recall correctly, from the game "Careers". |

Why are there fewer board games with a triangular grid? Actually, I'd probably go with Brian Campbell's answer, if he wants to include my observations. |

Scrabble First Turn Questions Agree - a letter from the first word must be on the center square. Other than that, position or direction should be up to the player. |

Clarifying house rules for Monopoly Agree on all points. Start with the official rules. Money on Free Parking is the most common "house rule" that I'm aware of as well. |

Why would you want to play with a deck bigger than 60 cards in MTG? I take it they have increased the minimum deck size? Back when I played (16+ years ago) the minimum deck size was 35, and I typically used decks of around 40. |
