Yeah Mark! You big dummy!

Mike C. (Rules Pariah)

My wife and I played a two-person game with the neutral third player and we both enjoyed it. Afterwards I found a commonly missed rule. When all players have passed but one, that player can only do one action and it moves to phase 3(scoring). You can pass early in a two player game and prevent someone else from using their cube stash against you in every area. They only get one chance to hose you.

We missed an important rule out of Ostia on our first game - you can only lay up to 2 coloured types of cards in the tird phase. It made a dramatic and important difference.
