Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

How many players can the Party Pack support?

It adds four player colors, allowing the game to be played with up to eight players. (p. 2)

Do we still use the explore board and the original explore cards?

No. Return the explore board and the original regular explore cards to the box; use the oversized explore cards from the Party Pack instead. (p. 2)

Which cards go into the Exploration Deck?

Shuffle the “I” era cards together with the five basic explore cards to form the Exploration Deck. (p. 2)

When we reveal explore cards, should we discard or hide the ones already flipped?

Leave flipped cards visible so everyone can see which cards have yet to be flipped. (p. 2)

In a game with 5–8 players, do I have to be first to earn a goal reward?

No. During eras 1 and 2, every player who meets a goal’s requirements at any time receives the larger listed reward; during eras 3 and 4, each qualifying player receives the smaller listed reward. (p. 2)
