What a source check means

Identify the version

Researched rule guides name a publisher edition, governing rule set or explicitly labeled house format. Similar game names do not guarantee identical rules. Use the rulebook supplied with your set when it differs.

Check the written rules

A visible source-check date records when the linked documentation was consulted for the guide. It does not certify hands-on play, professional expertise or a publisher endorsement. The source library lists these references and their scope.

Explain a concrete decision

Examples and diagrams are original teaching illustrations. They are not reports of a play session. Optional quizzes test a particular rule; they do not simulate the whole game.

Understand the scope

The current checklist covers all 200 game guides. Each names its edition or declared format and links the sources used. Complex games are beginner introductions, not replacements for full rulebooks, faction instructions or current tournament regulations. Source access and edition limits are stated on the relevant page.

Corrections

Send the page, disputed rule and edition. We do not promise a response time, but specific evidence makes a correction easier to assess.
