๐ FAQ
โ Rules Question: New British Book
Q: Just a quick rules question โ since the event is on the 3rd and the new British book is out on the 31st officially, are we playing the old or new rules, or are both allowed?
A: Weโll be sticking with the current (old) British book for this event, just to keep things consistent for everyone. The new oneโs fair game for future events once folks have had a chance to digest it!
