Apr 18	comment	House rules to improve Pokemon Master Trainer If you allow rolls to ace, make the 6 roll still add only 5 - just so that you don't skip all the multiples of six.
Apr 10	comment	What are some good introductory rules to bridge? Wait, how did you know I live in Toronto?
Apr 6	comment	Are there multiplayer equivalents to trading places after the first move? Thanks for the link.
Apr 5	comment	Are there multiplayer equivalents to trading places after the first move? In which games have you ever seen this?
Mar 16	comment	What are some good introductory rules to bridge? Turns out it was 2003.
Mar 16	comment	What are some good introductory rules to bridge? The book was from at least 1997, I believe. (It was from a book called the Giant Book of Card Games, and was called "Bridge Whist" in the book.) I'm not sure if it took its resources from somewhere else, though.
Mar 12	comment	What are some good introductory rules to bridge? So kinda like the Golden Snitch in Quidditch, then?
Mar 12	comment	What are some good introductory rules to bridge? One of the things that confused me was the win condition. If winning the rubber wins you the game (like I saw in that book), what purpose do the bonus points serve? Or is it not actually the rubber that wins you the game, but the points?
Mar 11	comment	Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 I actually meant it lightly (with an implied XD), but I suppose you could explain yourself as well.
Mar 11	comment	Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 Hooray for violating the integrity of board games!
Mar 9	comment	What are effective strategies for passing cards in Hearts? I try not to pass the 2 of Clubs if I have it, even if I void everything else in the clubs suit.
Mar 9	comment	What are effective strategies for passing cards in Hearts? I had a friend who would always troll in Hearts and always attempt to shoot the moon, so he would always pass low cards to other players. He actually succeeded about 1/4 of the time.
Mar 9	comment	Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 "Instead on a 7, you simply grab any one card from the bank." Do you still play with the "discard half your resources if you have more than seven", though? I know some house rule variants that don't play with this.
Mar 9	comment	Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 Exactly why I proposed it. However, the other numbers would still be even.
Mar 8	comment	Playing Settlers of Catan with a D12 instead of 2D6 One way to alleviate the dead number is to have the robber pop up when either 1 or 7 is rolled.
Mar 7	comment	What are the standard time settings in chess There is also "correspondence chess", which has time limits on the order of days or even weeks.
Mar 7	comment	What are the standard time settings in chess In my experience, anything under three minutes is called "lightning" or "bullet" chess rather than blitz, and blitz can be anything from 3 to 10 minutes.
Mar 7	comment	What is the average lifetime of a pack of casino cards? Well, now it's clear. :P
Mar 7	comment	What is the average lifetime of a pack of casino cards? Isn't "63 mm by 88 mm" the same both ways?
Mar 7	comment	What is the average lifetime of a pack of casino cards? "First I should note that as I started Googling around for an answer to this, it is abundantly clear that there is not a definitive answer on this." I didn't google as extensively as you did, but I noticed this too.
