Kestrel stood against a wall Mad Hywel turned to water, was washed one
square back into stone, and was crushed twice. The sweep walked the
way it pushed: having shoved him onto the next square, its next probe
found him there and shoved him again with the force left. From rev 20
a sweep names every victim along its line first, then pushes each
once; older games replay the double shove. A test washes a wizard one
square into a wall under both readings.
With it, a client fix: a tap on a bare square while holding a card no
longer walks there. Kestrel tapped a slime with LIGHTNING BLAST in hand
and strode into it. The tap now says the card is aimed at a wizard or
creature and leaves the feet alone.

Three strangers this week pressed play, looked at the board for a
minute, and closed it. What they saw: a small maze under a roll-off
card, a column of prose, seven strange cards, and nothing that said
where they were or what to tap. Now, on a browser's first game, the
squares a stride can reach glow and the rest of the maze falls into
shadow, with one line hung over the wizard for the first stride. The
turn banner says what winning is for the first two rounds. And when
the clockwork rolls first, its opening turn waits behind the roll-off
card instead of playing out unwatched, then arrives a beat at a time.
The step light switches off once that first game is won, and lives in
preferences for anyone who wants it back.

The bite rides a counteraction stack, so the batch that springs the
Ward carries no damage; the notice read that as a bite with no
purchase and the three points landed later unannounced. It now says
the bite waits on the taker's answer, and the counteractions follow.

Kestrel stood beside a pit dug against the board's west edge, walls
north and south of it, and was told there was nothing to land on — the
rim check counted only neighbouring squares, and the warp mouth beyond
the pit is not one. From rev 17 a mouth on the rim is an exit like any
square, named at a fork like any other; every older game takes the
mouth when no square offers, so the refused crossing goes through as
it stands. The jump through a mouth carries `via: "warp"`: the board
shimmers both mouths instead of streaking across the maze, and the
reel cuts rather than gliding. The automaton leaves a pit only by its
exits. Three tests walk the rim under both readings.

Eric, a giant on his first turn, could only shove a wizard in a
straight line: the engine shoved in the giant's own direction or
refused. The FAQ says otherwise — "If Big Man pushes someone to an
intersection, then the other player gets to decide which direction to
go." Now a pushed wizard leaves by any open side but the way the giant
came. One open side is taken. Several are theirs to choose: the stride
hangs in a pushPending window like the Ward's, the pushed wizard
answers with pushChoice (a dialog offers the ways; an automaton steps
out of the giant's line), and the stride resumes with the answer — a
blinded giant's roll is not rolled twice.
Rounding a corner was a refusal before, so every game may do it now.
Only the case that used to resolve — straight ahead open — keeps its
old reading in games dealt before rev 15; from rev 15 the pushed
wizard chooses there too. Tests pin the corner, the fork's window and
its refusals, and the older reading; 84 ledgers replay.

The table's reading of CREATE PIT: a thin ledge runs around the rim,
and "jumping over" is edging along it, trying not to fall. So on a 2,
3, or 4 the walker lands on an open square beside the pit — the only
one if there is one, otherwise the one they name (a click on that
square sends `exit` with the move) — and a pit with no way off cannot
be entered from there at all, refused before any die is rolled. The
FAQ's diagonal crossing at an intersection is this rule.
Older games bounced the walker back and charged the stride; they keep
that under their frozen revision, so GDCN's seven bounces replay. The
clockwork's path search treats a pit as a road when any side of its
rim is open and names the exit its path leaves by. Tests pin the fork,
the single way off, the closed pit under both revisions, and the
brain's route.

For visitors: the landing shows a clip card of the maze before asking
for a name; "Play now against a clockwork wizard" is one tap from the
landing to the first turn (the room, the seat, and the flip each
follow as the server confirms the last); pass-the-device and seat
transfer fold behind "More ways to play".
For a first game: automatons default to apprentice until this browser
has seen a game through, then step up to adept unless the tier was
picked by hand; the council speaks once unasked on a first turn; a
finished game offers "play again" (the same bots re-seated in a fresh
room) and "share the tale" (the whole replay as a link).
For players who know the box: a House rulings tab in help — what the
digital table does differently, every rulings revision (now exported
from the engine as RULES_REVISIONS, which the deckRev doc block points
at), and the 76 cards the FAQ has spoken on. And the arrow keys and
WASD walk on the board as they already did in the first-person pane.

Two newcomers on announcement day left within minutes at the same
moment: they picked up a treasure, the turn's actions ended as the
rules say, every walk after that was refused, and the status line's
"turn spent" told them nothing about why or what the treasure was for.
Both had stalled over a minute before their first move as well.
Now: on a first turn, a coaching slip says what a turn is — walk this
many squares, a NUMBER card walks farther, tap a card to cast, End
turn — dismissed once with "got it" and remembered in prefs. After a
pickup, the status line says the pickup ended the actions and the
treasure comes along, and to end the turn and carry it home. While
carrying on later turns, a slip names whose treasure it is, how far
home is, and that two scored wins; your own treasure scores nothing
in your arms.

Eric grabbed a warded treasure and took the Ward's three points — but
the attack modal showed a bare-knuckled punch, the hint line said the
owner "attacks with a punch", and the cast panel called it a physical
blow with no card behind it. The engine knew better: the stack has
carried sourceName ("warded treasure") since rev 9, and the damage
line used it. The client never read it.
Now every cardless stack with a name shows that name — and, for the
Ward, the Ward card itself — in the modal, the hint line, and the
cast panel, with the damage inbound. In the chronicle, a counteraction
played against it records "warded treasure" rather than "punch", and
an EMPATHY echo of it names the same. Chronicle-only, ungated; all 58

Reuse Spell rightly found nothing to retrieve. POWER ATTACK gains its

The card says it plainly — "You're the carrier! Disease caused by
spell does not affect you, only others" — but the engine cast it AT an
adjacent victim, making them the plague rat. At rev 7 it is a
self-cast on fear's pattern: no target, no counteraction window
("REFLECTIONs have no effect against this"), duration equals the
number, and sharing a square bites in both directions — the carrier
walking in, or anyone walking onto the carrier. Older ledgers hold
targeted disease casts with full stack exchanges, so the legacy attack

STRENGTH's card says the grab "would be an attack," but the engine
resolved it instantly while punches opened counteraction windows — the
defender never got their say. At rev 6 the tear rides the stack like
any physical attack: the clutch roll waits out the counters, and only
an unstopped grab still in arm's reach of a still-laden defender gets
its wrestle. A TELEPORT escape now genuinely saves the chest (FULL
SHIELD does not — the card stops spell attacks only, and the grab is
physical). The automatons counter tears at their carried gold by not
being there when the hand closes. Narrowing, so rev-gated: games

The engine learned to bend neutral spells, but the client only sent
aroundCornerInstanceId (and amplify/add/extend) on player-target casts
— applyMods was never called on the cell, edge, creature, two-cell,
trap, or teleport-opponent paths, so a SAFE aimed around the corner
went out bare and the engine rightly refused it. All targeted cast
dispatches now pass through withMods, so what the hand shows attached

Two holes, found when a SAFE cast at a treasure 'around the 180 degree
corner' refused with no line of sight (room LZ5R). First: the bend was
honored only in the attack path — every neutral resolve (creations,
summons, utilities, edge targets) checked straight sight and ignored
the attached card, though the card says 'any line of sight spell'.
castSight/castSightEdge now thread the bend through all of them, and
the chronicle narrates the neutral bend too.
Second: the bend itself pivoted only at cell centers, so the card's
flagship shot — doubling back up to 180 degrees around a wall's end —
never resolved: both legs graze the corner and die. The pivot may now
sit in the wall's open gap itself (bentSightThroughGap), which is what
rounding a corner physically is. Closed doors still block; two corners
still refuse.
The client lights bent-reachable squares for real now instead of the
old one-step-adjacency guess, creations included. Pure widening, so no
rev bump: every one of these casts was refused before, so no ledger
holds one. All 26 production ledgers replay clean; the LZ5R moment
itself replayed and the exact refused cast now lands.

The pane learns the menagerie. On your turn, a "ride" button appears
for each creature you command with moves or claws unspent; mounting
seats the camera in its skull facing its longest corridor, hides its
own hide from its eyes, and hands it the helm — chevrons and arrows
stride IT, an adjacent floor click steps it, and clicking an enemy
sharing its square lands its blow. A banner shows the mount's
remaining legs; one tap (or the turn passing, or the mount dying)
returns you to your own eyes, where the director reseats you fresh.
Two cockpit-dignity fixes from live play ride along: a cutaway to
your own body now plays only for things done TO you — dropping a
dagger no longer flings your eyes out of your skull — and a standing
camera is never "rescued" off a wall you deliberately faced; the
deepest-corridor default applies only to fresh cuts.

Picking up an object ends the turn's actions AND movement — yet the
end-turn caution still tallied the unspendable points as regret. The
unspent-movement reason now stays quiet once actions have ended:
those points cannot be spent, only mourned.
And the raycaster has no downward pitch, so whatever lay in your own
square — a treasure, a dropped blade — was invisible from inside the
cockpit. An "at your feet" tray now rides the pane's bottom edge on
your turn: your square's floor treasures and objects as clickable
icons, each a one-tap pickup through the same commands the board's
buttons send.
