I've tried this a couple of times and it never seems to take affect.  Am I doing something wrong?  It's a game with no scenarios, so I know it's not that I forgot to unlock something there. 

Has anyone got the "starting cards" values to work?

I can't remember ever playing with them other than to disable them.

What nomenclature are you using??

A,B,C,W

ABC

A B C

??

I'm fairly sure i have played a board where this was in place but I can't think of it.  Maybe one of Yertle's?

Is that what you are supposed to do?  I just put in '2'.

I'm just guessing.. When you see what cards you have during a game, that's how they're displayed in the stats, right?

I am fairly sure that M is correct in how that works.  By typing in A,B, C or W you control which cards they get to start.

why would you specify what type of card as opposed to a # of randomly given cards?

So you can control the starting condition.

Maybe player one has an advantage, so player 2 starts with a W

I'd like to know what works... if you could report back Ozy...

I tried a couple different things.  Nothing seems to work.  One thing I noticed, if I put a number into the starting cards box, save the board, and reload, the number disappears.

If I but A, or W or something like that into the box, save the board, and reload the letter stays.

But either when when I start a game, no one starts with any cards.

But... Although it is set to give player 2 a W to start, I just started a game and player two did not start with any cards.

Some of the scenarios in LOTGR start with cards:

..but is it working?

Looking at the Initial set-up of the Tri-Force board I see that "Lock starting bonus to color or seat position" is set to "seat".  Do you have that setting on your board Ozy?

I do.  But more importantly, the game I started on Tri-Force didn't result in anyone starting with a card.

Anyone else want to try and start a game on Tri-Force or LOTGR and see if it works for them.  Could be I'm doing something stupid & not noticing it (wouldn't be the first time).  Feel free to invite me.  I'd like to verify I'm not the only one seeing this issue before I start bugging Tom more.

Here is the link to the triforce game I started, where I am player two and received no cards:

Can you post the link to your board?

I went to my old game on trip-force and did not see starting cards in the history.

I*know* I have played a game where I started with a card.

Try changing that setting to "color"  Also maybe you need *set-up based" turned on.

Thanks Amidon37.  Need to quit my wargear time for now, but I will look at these later.

I know it's worked when I played it in various team tournie games in the past. Doesn't mean it isn't broken now.
