Hmmm - thats not going to work so well on here though is it...

totally agree

Given how small the ruleset is for this game, it is astonishing how much of it they got wrong.

Please can you fix the following;

1) The start player after a failed challenge should be the player whose Skull was chosen, not the person who challenged
2) If you kill yourself you should get to choose who starts the next round. This did happen on one occasion, but we are fairly certain it did not happen on other occasions
3) Once all but one player is eliminated the game is over....except it isn't apparently. The last player has to play a round on their own and it is conceivable that this would be with only their Skull card to play at which point they would be dead as well and nobody would win...pretty sure that ain't in the original rulebook.

Our group has agreed not to play this again until these problems are solved, so I look forward to hearing when that hapens.

So are some games just skipping the alpha stage now?

Lol how are you going to complain about the rules being wrong and have absolutely no idea what you're talking about? On your first point, the start player for the next round is always the player who was challenged, not the person who's skull was flipped, unless the challenger lost their last card (and this is a super central rule to the game). On your second point, the rule which is properly implemented is if you lose your last card by flipping over your own skull, then you choose who goes first, but if you lose your last card by flipping over someone else's card then they go first. Not sure if you meant that by your comment or not, but that's definitely how it works. Both of those rules are exactly properly implemented and you just don't seem to know the rules. You are absolutely right on your third point that as soon as everyone else is eliminated that player should win though.

Italian translation (news topic on main page) wrong!

The "waiting time before you click your move" will do the job

Nothing new - They don't skip alpha but Public beta because we have a special group of users for some specific games.

I totally agree. This should be implemented soon.

Another tip for the developers: it could be useful (on turn-based games) if there were a symbol to remind me that I've previously lost the Skull. Thanks
