You’re very welcome! So awesome to hear I’m not alone, too: I felt a little odd changing things so drastically, yet when it comes down to the bottom line, I would rather enjoy a heavily modified game than follow the exact rules for a less-desirable experience. Best of luck with your adventure together, and I hope you have a great time exploring the narrative! I’ll have that game eventually, too, and will keep in mind that this approach might not be too far out there. Thanks for stopping by!

So true! I’m finding that there’s a difference between misunderstanding the rules or making rules mistakes, and adjusting a game to work for me. There are rare occasions when I’ve changed things up, yet this is a perfect example. Had I not, I imagine this post would have been very negative because it would have been a game I felt obligated to play in a system that wasn’t for me. But my so-called broken set of rules made it my own, and really made the game thoroughly enjoyable!

It’s a path I’ve never explored before, thinking that every rule must be followed to the letter. Especially for solo games, that’s not true. Hopefully, everyone gets a lot of enjoyment out of their games, either following the rules exactly or making their own adjustments!
