Unfortunately there have been misunderstandings between the editorial department and the designer Haim Shafir long time ago when we (AMIGO) worked on the game and published it first in Germany (more than 10 years ago in the meantime). Export partners like Gigamic adapted their version partially base...

Like that short discussion. :-) Most important fragment for me is "in my opinion" that is used several times in the posts. ;-) I am the editor of the original game "The City", published by AMIGO in ca. 2011. I remember lots of discussions with Tom Lehmann, the designer of the gam...

Will there be a subsequent adjustment here?

yeah, ten hands is the "tournament setting" used by amigo, too. So there shouldn't be a problem by the publisher if that is implemented on here Let me answer as publisher on that variant. ;-) Yes, we have the tournament rules for 3, 4 and 5 players with exactly 10 rounds per game: 5 playe...
