Jyhad rules aside, you lose much of a multiplayer aspect with only two, and
sometimes three, players. With four players, the social abilities of the
players kick in, and for many games (Jyhad, Cosmic Encounter, Diplomacy),
social skills are as integral to the game as deckbuilding skills.
Cedric.
"multiplayer" means "three or more players"... at least that's what
how we use the term. In a two-player game, everyone gets four transfers
from the very beginning.

Then, perhaps, the wording might be changed in future printings of the
rules to "multi-opponent games" or something similar. :)

Great! That answers one of the questions!

Tom, is there a chance you could cross-post your postings (especially your
rulings) to alt.games.jyhad? I know the people over there would appreciate
it. And it would save me having to do it :-)
