[Deptheads] Re: Strategicon - Gamex 2013

I would like to suggest that an exception is not needed. If Dang submits AH
with expansions A B C & D, Dang will bring one copy of the game with those
expansions. If nobody brings another copy with those expansions, there is
no problem with Dang turning away the extra players. If some does bring the
game with those expansions, they will be able to handle the second game and
Dang will handle any disputes that might arise. A note in the description
mentioning that there will most likely only be a single copy of the game
would be polite. The one difference between a public game and a private
game would be in a public game Dang could only play if he did not have to
turn away players.
