The rules progress, more or less, in a building-block (Jenga?) order, so I could have designed it starting at rule zero and moving up. (As it happened, I did some reverse-engineering, but my perspective in editing was generally done in one direction.) So if I propose a new rule, or I'm someone analyzing the rules, I just need to make sure that the new rule balances on the top-layer rules, knowing that the underlying ones are sturdy.The setting and concept for Welcome to the Sticks look great, and offering a free game is always cool.  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤓" title="Nerd face    :nerd:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f913.png" data-shortname=":nerd:" /></blockquote>
