Rules question/help from my fellow lumpy heads. When drawing a monster card that “attacks all players,” what happens? Does it attack players individually? Do players pool attack dice in defense? What happens if someone fails the defense? What happens if the monster is defeated? Who keeps them in their vault? Does anyone keep them in the vault? Does everyone simply get the coin value in their vault? Is it split among the defenders?
Second rules question: what mechanical benefit is there really in keeping alliances secret in the beginning? All we’ve found is it makes things counterproductive in the long haul, especially in strategies.
Also in the vein of alliances: does anyone add rules to further cooperation between allies? Card swaps as a playing action? Sacrificing a vault card to Add dice to an allied defense? “Visiting” Lords? Some sort of “zone control” mechanic for cooperative games? A way to add a monster to an allied attack, perhaps by “holding an action” their turn?
