I have not played the game yet, because of holidays and family. I have read the rules and I have few questions and remarks.
Remarks:
Description of the phases mention "cards" (plague/ obstacle card) but there are (in the setup) "counters" and "tokens".
Questions:
1) Retreating because of Confrontation Challenge - when Moses wins, the Pharaoh retreats one space but in which direction? If Pharaoh wins and Moses can spend 1 Miracle, Moses "escapes"... but what does it mean? Does he retreat anywhere or does he remain in the same space, only the game does not end?
I imagine that at the beginning of the game, Pharaoh is ahead of Moses but later, Moses "bypasses"/ leaves Pharaoh behind... Nevertheless, this Pharaoh Retreat may imply that Pharaoh will be kept ahead of Moses' token, depending how one understands "retreat".
2) Hail Plague Card: What does it mean that Pharaoh "loses 1 movement point"? The rules on Pharaoh movement mention only moving by one 1 space. Does it mean that Pharaoh does not move at all for two turns?
3) Verbiage in Plague cards. "Gnats" have "Pharaoh may not use an obstacle card" - does it mean that Pharaoh does not draw a card or that its effects are ignored, the card is still drawn? What is the difference between "Frogs" and "Death of Livestock"? One asks for removal of one obstacle card (from where?), the second asks to discard 2 obstacle cards from Pharaoh's deck. Maybe they mean the same effect of removal of a card/ cards from the deck... only they use different phrases.
4) Is there a limit on how many Plague cards Moses can have at any single time?
Thanks in advance!
