Oh, I agree 100% that the rules would be better off rewritten. The item rules are very inconsistent and they certainly come with an implication that your strict interpretation is correct.

However, I also think the rules also can support the clearly intended approach that we've been arguing for. There is ambiguity depending on how strictly you think the rules are being defined. In this case, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and let this slide, as the strict interpretation is absurd and clearly should not be followed.

If your only argument is that the rules should be rewritten, then we are in agreement and can end the debate. I'm not sure I'm ready to accept an argument that the rules must be rewritten for us to be able to play it with the intended mechanic, though. There are so many other rules that would need the same level of care and that would ruin the wonder you experience by discovering the game as you play.

Some rulebooks, e.g., Magic:The Gathering, need to be very strict and not allow for you to stretch the wording to suit. Others require a little bit of looseness in the rules so that they can stretch to cater for unforeseen situations and that is where I feel the 7th Continent rulebook resides. All three things we have discussed that don't really match the written rules fit within this looseness if we allow for it.

For those not following, those three things would be:

×1: Using an item for no effect other than the banner on one of its cards. (Torch)
2: Double pictographs on a numbox-banner. (Gears)
3: Bonus cards with banners. (Goat)

Bonjour. Un maudit à La Bathie (73540) en Savoie.

" Le gouvernement paternel du Roi à qui rien n’échappe de ce qui peut contribuer à la plus grande prospérité des fidèles sujets de Sa Majesté vient de porter son attention toute particulière sur la convenance d’abolir le système des taxes et autres restrictions que les administrations communales sont dans l’usage d’imposer à la vente du pain, de la viande et d’autres denrées semblables, ce qui en constituant un véritable monopole au profit des débitaires de ces objets au lieu d’être favorable à la classe nombreuse des consommateurs est très préjudiciable ; ne servant qu’à entretenir les prix à un taux plus élevés qu’ils ne devraient l’être "

For those who would discover this message late and who wish to acquire The 7th Continent and its extensions:

• The game will NOT be re-printed. (except if translated, but not on the agenda)
  
• Some boxes from surplus production could be put on sale on this website, once contributors delivered and after-sales service assured.
  
• On the second-hand market, you will probably find opportunities to buy a game, even before its delivery you buy the "pledge" of a contributor and wait for his box), the box of a player separating from his copy. Specialized websites and forums exist for these exchanges between people.

Tu peux en ajouter un à 5100 - Jambes (Namur) en Belgique !

ok merci :) je n'avais pas du tout compris ça.

It definitely is not multiplying!
If you have 2 and 2 it is not 4 .
It's rather smaller value from these two.
2 and 1 gives 1
1 and 3 gives 1
