Alpha game rules

[CraftyBird]

First, I really appreciate all of the developer's efforts here. And I'm sure each developer is just as excited to have an alpha release as we are to see new games. However, it would be a huge help to the testing process if the game rules were posted to the game page when the game is released. Sure, most of the time, we can go to BGG or the publisher to get the rules. But many times, with obscure or public domain or never before released games, it can be difficult at best to find the rules to truly understand the game and its interpretation.

So, again I ask, to make the testing process smoother and more thorough, please either post the rules or a link to them.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

That's actually an item in the list of things to do we email to the developer when we move their game to alpha

I would estimate most games go to alpha without rules. Most of the time they are easy to find. Sometimes though, they are nowhere to be found which puts a damper on the testing. Also, for public domain games, it would be real helpful to have the rules for the actual implementation. Games like Mahjong and many card games have many rule variations.
