I added a section for Curse cards, so if you have doubts about a bug, please check here before reporting ;)
Aah, I was just about to send a bug report for 'Confused Senses', but glad I decided to check your list.
I had the Golden Scarab and desired to snake-curse myself on purpose, and was saddened I couldn't get a free reroll of 2 dice.

If the publisher confirmed, then I cannot argue too much about it. But I don't really agree with the wording of the card text, because you should be able to reroll your own dice, nothing in the rulebook or card text to contradict this. Hopefully if they ever do a reprint, they can fix and add an addendum(example: Another Monster who has the Golden Scarab may reroll...).
(and IELLO, if you're listening, you misspelled Manhattan several times on the physical release of the cards)

Permanent effect: players roll 1 less die (thus 5 instead of 6).

I rolled 6 die + eye, curse cards switch from different curse card to Raging Flood and its permanent effect triggers and disposed one of my dice before resolving.
Does it select the die randomly, or according to a certain order?
#245406822 M#14 just bad luck I suppose it decided to get rid of a [3] and I was left with only useless [3][3].

Technically one could counter it by saying you roll 1 less die, it does not state to resolve 1 less die. The die had already been rolled. I can imagine that digitally you could randomize which die gets removed, but how do you do this in real life, could a player choose? Do other players choose? Do you blindfold yourself and choose the die?
Unanswered on BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/245669 ... bility-whe
I didn't think/asked the publisher about this card and special case, but they answered a similar case for False Blessing (listed in the Q&A file linked above). I will fix Raging Flood to behave the same way.

it seems that the curse game mode was retroactively added to existing tournaments that were already underway. lol

There are 24 curse cards that alter the rules of the game. Rules for all players, something happens at the start or end of a turn, or game actions are different.
The extra pyramid shaped Curse Die which you may also roll up to 3 times can decide to grant you an additional good effect(written on the current Curse card), a negative curse(same) or switch to the next random curse card in the curse deck.

Because the next curse card is random, changing it may be literally a blessing or a curse for you.
Side-Note, the Curse die always resolves first, and may influence all which you had thrown!
Thank you!

Par contre c'est pas cool d'imposer ces événements aux tournois en cours, ça dénature complètement les tournois pour lesquels on a signé !

Most likely this was by accident, not on purpose.
I would assume because the options are standard enabled during this time.

Indeed it is an unwanted effect of new option being by default (so simple games use it automatically).
I'll ask if I can do something about it, so it won't happen for the next expansions!
