Title: Question on Rules for Keltis Card
Post by: Thomas W. on 03/02/16, 01:01am

When you lay down the 5th end card, does that mean you are not allowed to draw a card to replace it before the end phase? That's the way the computer is playing it. Didn't know if that was a rule or just a glitch with the program. If that's the rule it seems like a strange unneccessary one!

Yes Thomas, ending a 5th path (not laying a 5th end card that's not the same thing) triggers the end game immediately.

Thanks for your good answer. One has to watch out for that when playing. One can get stuck with lots of good points in his hand.

    And yes, that's what I meant -- ending a fifth path.

Now that I have thought about it, this is not a weird rule. It does make sense conceptually. Once the last card is drawn the game ends -- proceed to endgame

OR

Once a 5th path is closed -- proceed to endgame.

It is, in fact, very consistent. I didn't see that before, but now I do.

The 5th path ending must occur much more frequently with 3 and 4 players.

And maybe the 2-player game would be better if the 4th path ending triggered the endgame.

Only conjecture though!  ;)
