Always check your spam folder

Hello again.

This was a lot sooner than I expected but when you find an email a friend sent you from days ago in your spam emails folder with a wealth of amazing feedback and design insight ON THE DAY YOU RELEASE YOUR "DEFINITIVE VERSION", you kinda got to suck it up, do the work and do a quick rewrite. So let's try get this done so I can relax lol

Changes

• Aces footnote added for clarity
• Reworded Layout
  • This was to avoid the ambiguity of overusing the word "it"
  • Specified that the deck lays face-down, again for clarity
  • I also happen to think it just reads better with discards coming after the shadow pile and torch queue bits
• Shadow pile wording changed
  • With it being a pile and all I figured it was best to change all mentions of "into the shadow pile" to "onto the shadow pile"
  • Also took the chance to clarify that everything going ONTO the shadow pile goes face-down
• Winning the game section now mentions escaping, for the sake of clarity
  • Didn't want people thinking that they could win after perishing ;P
• Replaced "one" with "any" in mention to how you use actions
  • Helps to imply that you can do the same action twice if you wanted to with Escape being the obvious exception
• Actions have been reordered
  • Instead of trying to be alphabetical they are now ordered by priority and how likely players are to use them
• Reworded Escape action
  • Went for "and/or" instead of simply "Donate/Discard" to try clarify that you can opt to do a bit of both, not just one or the other
  • I also chose to swap donate and discard to subtly encourage more scarcity... or at least I think that's why I did it. I did rewrite this around 4 or 5 in the morning
• Looting section added, reworded Hunted curse
  • Felt there was too much to clarify with the perishing of a Torchbearer so I made a looting section to cover how many cards the party can take and that they discard whatever is left while clarifying in the Hunted curse what happens to the monster after it ambushes said Torchbearer
• Reworded The Gauntlet section
  • For the sake of saving space I changed the wording for recommended number of players

Ok, hopefully that actually IS all. Take care. Sorry for all the abrupt new versions and again, thank you for taking the time to read and/or play :)

Later days!
