It's alright to misunderstand rules, as long as it's still fun and everyone understands it the same way. Even if you switch over to the correct rule during the game and everyone is okay with it. In the end it's all about fun. In fact, that's why house rules exist because it makes the game fun.

I've played this game a ton and I've found the player interactions is at least half the fun. if nobody takes treasures at the start you can all get to the bottom where the good stuff is, but the moment someone takes any treasure the clock is ticking and suddenly everyone needs to fend for themselves. Where different groups find that line of patience vs greed is highly varied and the negotiations themselves where people try to organize can be extensive. This is a good teaching game for explaining the Prisoners Dilemmas, Game theory in general, and even the tragedy of the commons.

I would question that, in case of brain trauma, it is really the lack of oxygen that kills you - and not that your brain was smashed into a mush. The cell death of the brain should happen before it is deprived of oxygen.
@LeoMRogers8 ай бұрын
Also, in cases where the the body temperature has dropped siginificantly, it has been possible to revive someone even though their heartrate has dropped to a point that would normally kill (due to lack of oxygen) because the low temperature prevented the damage low oxygen would normally entail. So it is arguable that it is always brain damage (usually caused by lack of oxygen) which is the cause of all death.
