New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
I did a quick readthrough of the new rulebook, and I admire the extent they were able to simplify things for new players. I also can't find the "extended rulebook", as you noted, but if it's as well-written as this, that should help.Kudos to the writers and editors of the beginner rulebook!One thing that did strike me as strange - perhaps I've just always played this wrong:"Mutual Destruction by NumbersBoth characters in battle are being defeated because of numbers only. You have initiative and can play a good enhancement of matching brigade. If you choose not to play a card, you must pass initiative to your opponent. Your opponent may play an enhancement. If your opponent chooses not to play a card, he must pass initiative back to you. If your opponent passes initiative back to you, then you must play an enhancement or the Battle Phase resolves."I had always though that if you both pass in a row, you go right to Battle Resolution. I didn't realize that after two passes you can play a card again. (To put it in 90s kids' game show terms, I didn't know you could go for the Physical Challenge after a Double Dare.) Has this always been the case, or is this new?EDIT: This was also the case in the 10th Anniversary book, so I suppose it was always there and I never knew! And I've been playing for over 15 years!(Minor nitpicks... why is every number written like "eight (8)"? Why so many uses of "Hero(es)" and "Evil Character(s)"? Makes things a little harder to read quickly. Still very good overall.
