Missed Deduction: Rule 4 is only relevant/impacting if the KN pair is in the fall.

Please let me know if I missed any other deductions in the Game Setup. Thank you!

Please disregard my 2 prior posts and refer to this instead as my proper question. My apologies, the app keeps glitching out on me and my questions are not posting correctly:

@msaber,

Great question.

The deductions you made from the rules in the setup are excellent, and
you did not leave anything out. With those two scenarios, you are
well-equipped to answer the questions in this game quickly.

Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
