comment Why did I win “Asia Passport” achievement early?
As stated you should never be able to win it, as it is a Legendary Asia achievement and so you need to have it in order to earn it!

comment What are the chances of shooting the moon in Hearts?
@markovchain with perfect information it then becomes a game of brinkmanship, I'm not going to take a heart when I could wait for you to take one. Players would rapidly discard cards which would allow them to prevent a shoot-the-moon in order to force their opponents to take hearts to avert it.

comment Am I at legal risk if I use a mechanism from another game in my own design?
@Johno patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/… You'd think you couldn't patent stuff like this, but turns out you can patent anything.

I believe the only board game related patent is "tapping" for Magic the gathering. Not sure how enforcible it is though.

comment Monopoly Alternatives
You can play the "speed" monopoly from the original rulebook. This is where you deal all the properties randomly to players before you begin the game, essentially saving you the first ~30mins of the game and start with less starting cash.

comment Help me identify this card game with secret, changing rules
When someone adds a rule about not playing two co-prime cards in a row, you know you need to stop playing.

comment What was the largest flop in board game history?
Netrunner actually sold pretty well in the millions of copies. I think they over-produced the initial print run though.

comment If I cast Flicker on an unearthed creature, does it remain exiled?
I thought phasing out triggered "leaves play" effects, while phasing in didn't trigger "enters play". Doesn't that mean that when it phases out it triggers the "leaves play" and so is exiled? Or is "Leaves the battlefield" and "leaves play" not the same term?

comment Does a card that affects 'each' creature affect creatures that enter the battlefield after it resolves?
Interesting that "All white creatures get +1/+1" and "All white creatures get +1/+1 until end of turn" behave differently with respect to newly created creatures!

comment How do Data Raven and Chum interact?
Looks like putting a Chum in front of any ICE which gets Femme Fatale'd would be a good move then :)
