Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1 4c2a253723 The tester's second pass: the rule as written, advice that follows the board, the fold, the story on the replay page, and one click to begin
- Help said "walk, then act"; the rules let moves and cards come in any
  order, and now the help does too.
- The council's advice is derived from the live view while its panel is
  open, so a Number just played for movement is no longer recommended.
  It rests when the turn is not yours; "ask again" had nothing to add.
- The landing puts the name and the ways in before the clip, and beside
  it on a desktop: at 1280x720 the play button and Create/Join are above
  the fold.
- The replay page opens with the same deed the share card promises, and
  "play free" stands beside the reel instead of after the history.
- In hotseat the "pass the device" scrim stood above the roll-off, so the
  first click on "begin" landed on the handoff card. The handoff waits
  for the dice.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1 4cc0423846 The first minute, for a stranger: what the game is, what to do, and how to join
The landing says the pitch before it asks for a name — steal treasure,
blast through walls, outwit your friends — and states the goal. The
coach says "select a card, then choose its target," which is what the
cards actually want. The turn banner counts treasures home beside the
moves left. The council speaks once when its three voices agree. A
friend arriving on an invite link meets "Join Eric's game," a name
field, and a seat, with the gallery an afterthought; the masthead
says "invite friends" beside the room code. The first-person view has
a toggle beside the board instead of a checkbox in preferences. How
to play opens with winning. And a shared moment's card is titled by
the turn's story — the treasure carried home, the blow that landed,
the spell cast — instead of whose turn it was.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5 500d9a7154 How-to-play gains 'The automatons': temperaments, tiers, mysteries
The help never explained the clockwork — hunter/berserker/worrier
moods, the mystery deal and its end-of-game unmasking, and what the
difficulty tiers actually change (resources and repertoire, never
fairness).

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5 580af58424 How-to-play says the base movement is three
The rulebook tab had it, but the quick how-to never stated the most
basic number in the game. The movement section now opens with it.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5 8d10dfee67 In-game help: how-to-play guide, the 6e rules, and a card library
"Help & rules" in the masthead (lobby and table alike) opens a paper
booklet with three tabs: How To Play (the client's own controls —
moving, casting, attaching numbers and modifiers, fighting, turns,
transfers), The Rules (the 6th edition rules condensed faithfully
from the verified rulebook transcription, exact numbers throughout,
with a Jolly Games colophon), and a Card Library — all 135 playable
cards rendered as the real card faces, searchable by name or text,
each labeled with its quantity and set. Escape closes.
