Thanks for playing King's Comfort, ProofreadFire! Glad you enjoyed the game, and totally understand the frustration you had with the initial key. When I was play-testing it the first time, I had trouble catching that too! But it gives time for the ambient mood to settle. We also feel like, in this sort of scenario, people wouldn't know WHAT to do. (This was why we didn't give instructions on using the shotgun. Watching people fire their one shell and their face dropping is the EXACT reaction we were going for!)
