What's up with that chart? According to the rules you only get 5 points for every unique green civilization card, so we are confused as to what the chart with the increasing victory point numbers is for?

I don't have the game in front of me, but I don't remember anything about getting 5 points for unique civilization cards. That doesn't sound right - can you post the rule to which you are referring? You are supposed to receive 1 point for one unique card, 4 points for two unique cards, 9 points for three, etc. If you have more than one of the same civilization card, you get one point for each extra card.

The only writing involves adding up everyone's score at the end. The game comes with score pads, and the only tricky part about scoring is for the science cards. The rule book explains scoring very well. Let the one with math skills keep score! Over 50 points is a good score to make.

I do believe there are variant rules for 2 player, though I do not believe they exist within the standard rule books. You can google this and find more information on board game geek. I would say though, that this is very much a social deduction game and the more people the better this game is (though it does take longer). I think the two player variant kind of messes with what makes this game great. Just my opinion though.

One of the extensions has provision for military takeovers (it is not the first extension). I have played that only once and it seemed to skew the game too much toward focussing on military, but in a 4 or 5 player game, you could still win if you are the only one fucussing on consumption because the takeovers only apply, I think, to military worlds.

i don't have bonus points showing on mine. Not sure why you have that on yours. The only extra points that I usually get are for Yahtzee's and the 35 extra on the top row. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I bought the over 700 card starter with two expansion packs. You deal 10 cards to everyone but if you are the dealer, you can't play because you are the judge of the best answer. Then you pick a blue card. I am randomly drawing 10 cards and a blue card. The blue card says "Alternative medicine is now embracing the power of" _____________. My random answer cards, one of which I will select are, 1 Self-loathing, 2. An oversized lollipop, 3. Children on leashes, 4. Half-assed foreplay, 5. Bingeing and purging, 6. The Care Bear Stare, 7. Middle-aged men on roller-skates, 8. The Holy Bible, 9. Alcoholism, 10. Amputees

no you have to get 5 cards in a row for a sequence depending on the number or players you might need 2 sequences to win.

You can have 5,6,7,8,9,10... the more people that play the more spies there are. This makes is harder for the good guys to decide who all of the spies are essentially. There is a placemat for every amount of players and they also vary based on the # of plyrs. Its a fantastic game. Every group I play it with has a blast.

I have also found several definitions of words to be incorrect in the game cards. What's with that? Are the "real" answers Absolute Balderdash also? That's fine if they are, it would just be good to know.

No that doesn't matter. It is a game of strategy and each time you play you figure out some new tactic to help you win. Just know how to use your minor, major, and occupation cards. For me, bonus points are a key to winning the game. There are also video tutorials on YouTube to help you learn the game.

There are symbols and train cars that are different on the cards but I think the playing board with trains on it would be frustrating. We would not recommend it...sorry because it is such a great game we are playing it right now.

I haven't played with the power up expansion (it sounds cool) but I have played King of New York. The New York version gets rid of the numbers on the dice and puts tiles on the board to get "star" points. But when you do this, the military gets involved as a third party to your (and the other players) destruction. Nice little twist and makes the game go a bit longer

I did not get anything but the scorecard from Amazon. I think you have to purchase the card from the League to be a member, but I am new at Mahjongg and don't know if this is true.

It's not like Yugioh at all. It's a cooperative game where you each have a certain amount of cards in your hand, but you do NOT get to look at them. You face them outwards towards your team. The objective is to build up the different color fireworks by giving hints/clues to your team about their hands and play them in the correct order. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB0QtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFZlk3rHbPcI&ei=8x87VO6wBNeAygS34IKAAg&usg=AFQjCNEGGanLdQ3e3nHWk8M7CeSAPuRENg&sig2=RZYCflLoI0y3rzBwWQBOkQ&bvm=bv.77161500,d.aWw

We've always played it that after the first person goes out ... everyone else at the table gets 1 more turn to try & unload their points or go out too. Once it gets back to that 1st person that went out the hand is over & you get pointed. Hope this helps! :-)

Just checked the box. It says for one or more players. I think you can have as many players around the table as can see the cards.

To be honest I would grab a full set of conquest of you can and if not go for the quest. Conquest seems to be printed more than quest. Quest is larger but conquest has some cool new cards and ideas that aren't involved in quest. Like senators and metals and other things. It makes the game a little bit more group play than one person at a time. That's what I would do
