I second Doug's suggestion of "Tipped stack separates" rather than "Tipped stacks separate". I don't see a way to tip multiple stacks in one move, so the plural form of stacks is unnecessary. I also like the current Who Starts Rule. I can picture some players reading the rules for the first time, taking the pyramids out of the tube to set up the House and player trios. Someone will casually pick up the odd non-numerical die, and when the starting rule is read, blurt out in surprise "Hey, that's me!" Lastly, I'm in favor of tube stickers over a paper rules insert, for durability reasons. Also, the tube is harder to lose, and won't blow away, making it easier to play Treehouse outside. Good luck with the Treehouse production, Looneys! It's been a frenzied pace, but I hope it pays off for you. ---Ryan --- On Mon 02/06, Doug Orleans < dougorleans@xxxxxxxxx > wrote: From: Doug Orleans [mailto: dougorleans@xxxxxxxxx] To: icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 12:36:12 -0500 Subject: Re: [Icehouse] Treehouse Rules V5.0 Andy Looney writes:<br> > And yes, once again, more feedback is requested!
