📘 FAQ
❓ Rules Question: New British Book
Q: Just a quick rules question – 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: We’ll be sticking with the current (old) British book for this event, just to keep things consistent for everyone. The new one’s fair game for future events once folks have had a chance to digest it!
