Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Who actually plays it that wrong way, allowing stacking of +4 and instead of taking four and being skipped you place and +2 and the next person get six?

The rules are not ambiguous. This sounds like a silly "house rule" at best with clever marketing being more likely.

A lot of people do, obviously, or this wouldn't be a thing.

Click bait articles have a habit of over emphasizing things to garner attention. Hence why I suggested it was a marketing ploy.
