How do I set up the game?

Answered counted as answered

Asked with: Sagradabg-199561-en-1e

To set up the game, follow these steps: 1. Give each player a Player Board and matching Score Marker [1]. 2. Give each player 2 Window Pattern Cards at random [1]. 3. Give each player 1 Private Objective Card at random; players must secretly look at their card and place it face-down [1]. 4. Players choose one of their four window patterns (from the fronts and backs of both cards) [1]. 5. Players take the number of Favor Tokens indicated on the chosen window pattern's bottom right [1]. 6. Players slide the chosen window pattern card into the bottom of their Player Board, with the selected side facing forward [1]. 7. Place the Score Marker near the Round Track [1]. 8. Place the Round Track near the center of the play area [1]. 9. Shuffle the Tool Cards and place 3 face-up near the Round Track [1]. 10. Shuffle the Public Objective Cards and place 3 face-up near the Round Track [1]. 11. Put the appropriate number of dice in the Dice Bag and shake them: - 2 Players: 50 dice (10 of each color) [1] - 3 Players: 70 dice (14 of each color) [1] - 4 Players: All 90 dice [1] 12. Set aside all other cards, dice, and components not used during the game [1]. 13. Choose a Start Player (e.g., the player wearing the most colorful clothes or via random selection) and give them the Dice Bag [1].

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

stream path
streamed — the gateway pushed at least one accumulated draft
watchdog
first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture
both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

set up

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 103), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
