Lighting The Way

Back again so soon, I know. But this one's a doozy.

Major Changes

• Two Pages
  • Had one good idea and it broke the dam so now it's two pages instead of one.
• Added The Gauntlet w/ Optional Rules
  
  • This was unofficial but now that the documentation is now two pages there's space for it.
  • Hardcore mode based on additional decks and optional rulings to adjust the difficulty to be more suited to larger groups.
  • Comes with 4 optional rules: Disoriented, Hunted, Hurried & Shadowdarker.
• Added flavour to the gems
  • There is now a table to describe what kind of gems the face cards represent.
  • For example the Jack of Clubs represents an uncut emerald while the Queen of Hearts is a precious ruby.
  • I am aware that these aren't anywhere close to a realistic value scale, I did my best to have it make sense.
• Added a peak mechanic
  • You can now benefit directly from kindling values since having a total value of at least 10 in your torch queue now lets the top card of the deck to lay face-up.
  • This was the idea that kicked off this recent version. It made so much sense!
  • Adds to strategy without totally compromising the difficulty, adds value to having a starting torch value of 10, makes going under 10 seem even more tense than before and even works thematically, like your torch is bright enough to see what's ahead.

Minor Changes

• Removed "face-up" condition from setup section
  • Didn't seem necessary in practice since it's easy to just flash your highest kindling to see who goes first.
• Removed "Jokers" from Escape description
  • Should've done this sooner since the Joker is no longer relevant to the Escape mechanic given that you now have to play any Joker in your hand before doing anything else.
• Added Legal section
  • This was present before but with the new two page layout it made sense to make it a labelled section in the column which in turn gave more space for the Designed for use with Shadowdark logo as a footer. 
• Bigger font all round
  • Thank you two page layout.
  • Makes everything easier to read.
• Reworded some text in the Playing A Round section
  • Fixed an inconsistency between using "their" and "your".
