In “The Game”, replace “The card thus named is moved into the rightmost position in their Winnow. After each Play, a Player may score their Winnow based on the instructions in the subrule to this rule, adding that to the scores from previous Plays in that Game to maintain a rolling score for that Game.” with:
After each Play, the score for that play is calculated based on the instructions in the Tricks subrule. That is added to the scores from the Player’s previous Plays in that Game to establish a rolling score for that Player in that Game.
Replace the first paragraph of Tricks with:-
The most recent three Cards a Player has Played during a Game are referred to as that Player’s Pocket.
Replace “When a Player scores their Winnow they are looking for” with “A Player’s score for a Play is based on”.
As commented during voting, the card game would be quicker to play - particularly on mobile - if players didn’t have to open up a wiki tab and carefully edit a table value, for every move. (I’m not sure if it was intentional that Winnows continue across games, but it doesn’t seem like a benefit that’s worth this downside.)
Also changing scoring from an optional “may” to a platonic thing that just happens and can be calculated by anyone, since we won’t be able to tell the difference between a player declining to score, forgetting to score, and scoring but silently.
