I've just noticed that in the game Amum Re again

http://www.spielbyweb.com/game.php?games_id=1638

that if you add up the number of power cards in the players hands plus those in the deck and discard piles, it comes to 44, which is 5 more than there should be.

A cursory glance at my other games reveals that sometimes it adds up to 39, and sometimes it doesn't.

I'll have a closer look to see if I can work it out further, but something isn't quite right..

A closer look reveals the players all have the correct number of cards.

In this game, there were 18 power cards played before the shuffle, and 1 since. 3 cards have been taken from the pack since the shuffle. Yet the pile apparenly has 16 cards in it (instead of 15), and the discard pile has 6 cards in it (instead of 1).

I will have a look at another game to see what is happening there.

A closer inspection revealed that the rest of the games i'm involved in are correct, so it's just that one game...

Ahh, good catch. Had me extremely worried for a moment, but on closer inspection, it's not as serious an error as I had thought. It'll clear up in a moment, but I will spend a little time later solving it completely.

I've fixed this -- to do so required some significant changes to the way power cards are handled. I hope this doesn't cause any other problems...
