+Kirk Dyreson Thank you, Kirk. It's a challenge to see how many rule concepts I can get in to a video and still keep the pace moving. Nice to hear it works.
Small note, the scarecrow card can be played in two ways: you can pick up one of your mercenary cards back in your deck and afterwards the scarecrow MUST be discarded (in the video it's wrongly stated "You CAN discard it"). The other way to use the scarecrow is to discard it straight away, basically allowing you to buy time and see what other players will do.
I still don't understand the clean up phase; assume we play a round and player 2 won the battle. Next, we immediately start another battle, but then, after a few cards have been played, all players but one have run out of Mercenary cards. What happens here? Does the remaining player forcefully discard his hand and we reset the deck and deal cards and continue the same battle?
