Hello. Just received the game booklet. Unfortunately the instructions in the booklet seem to be insufficient for playing the intended game. 

1. How are the tokens to be used?  Multiple references state removing tokens from card but there are no instructions on how or when to place them or what their purpose is. 

2. Rolling a 6 or laying a ghost to rest. The rules of play state that you roll a dice to determine how many event cards you receive, but in the instructions for laying a ghost to rest it says that rolling a 6 prompts the laying to rest of a ghost. So which is it, does a 6 mean I receive 6 event cards or that I lay a ghost to rest? 

The booklet appears to be written only for those who created it and not for those trying to play the game for the first time.

The answer to both questions is in the same place: page 14, under the  Ace of Hearts. I will retype them here for your benefit:

"Do not discard this card. Instead, set it to one side in plain view and place ten tokens on it. At the end of each day, roll a d6. On a 6, remove one token and consult LAYING A GHOST TO REST (p. 23)."

Please let me know if you would like me to retype anything else from the book for you.

Just to ask, does that mean you need to draw the Ace of Hearts first before you can start laying ghosts to rest? What happens if its on the bottom of the deck?

Also the book says if you ever draw a dead mans hand a bad thing happens. Does that mean only during the same draw? Or if at any point all of those cards are in your discard pile?

Having great fun so far!

Howdy!

1. Yep, that only starts with the Ace of Hearts. Some playthroughs go roughly. This is a highly lethal game. 

2. Only if you draw the aces and 8s on the same hand. Otherwise it would basically be inevitable. 

Glad you dig it!

Excellent, thank you so much! Is there any place to like, share our written journals in the end? It's an interesting idea!

Hmm, now there's a thought...
