It used to say, "more/fewer keepers than anyone else," and it now says, "more/fewer keepers than everyone else."
They both mean the same thing, but with the old text, it could be taken to mean that if anyone at all has fewer keepers, you get the bonus, and since that allowed for multiple people to enjoy the card, that's how we played. Three.1 cleared it up (and ruined our fun).

Could you please clarify this?  I'm pretty sure I have the 3.0 version and I thought the rich/poor bonus was determined by how many/few keepers you had within the group playing.  (IE - If you have 3 keepers and everyone else has 2 or less, you qualify for Rich Bonus; if you have 0 keepers and everyone else has 1 or more, you qualify for the poor bonus.)   Is this thinking not correct?  If not, what specifically was cleared up in 3.1?  I looked on the website, but couldn't find where this sort of change information might be located.

Thanks!

I have the opposite problem. Instead of applying it too much, my group routinely forgets about First Play Random/Final Card Random entirely, and many turns pass before someone says, "Say, wasn't that card supposed to be random?" I also remember the 3.0 days when Rich and Poor Bonus meant to us that if you had more/fewer keepers than any other player (at all) you got the bonus. Glad they cleared that up in 3.1.

Speaking of rules nobody ever reads... First play random's cevat that it has no effect in a play 1 situation was not known for the longest time to the people I played with.

Although you could just smash the play all with the trash a new rule 2nd from last.

Amazing move, and completely sneaky! My jaw dropped when I saw that. I can't believe you can observe those rules *during* your turn! Goes to show you just gotta read them cards!


Looking forward to more. =)
