   As you can see there is more information to take in this time around, however all the rules are included and with the addition of a key and the instructions laid out in importance order, the players can now understand the key concepts whilst also being able to reference the instructions with ease. The fact is, with a game with this many rules, the instructions are supposed to be referenced throughout until players know exactly how to play; much like with Monopoly or Cluedo.
