Rule 25

[Nothing]

Rule 25 is currently worded incorrectly. It's a very specific interaction, but the usage of the word "leave" in the rule implies that a piece that was incorrectly moved out of town can freely move (only the act of leaving the field is forbidden). I just had a very specific interaction where the troll moved his queen out of town to capture my bishop, I then took advantage of the cheating move and only moved his queen on the gift of knowledge a turn after, which resulted in a loss.

Maybe this is just me over-thinking things, but I think rule 18 might also need some clarity. Most people likely know how a Queen moves, but with how much the rules are tweaked in this game, "she moves like half a castle + a bishop" implies she doesn't move like the both of them combined and there's some sort of limitation on her movement, either "half of a castle's movement" or "half of a bishop's movement".

I'd normally brush it off as the troll doing his usual writing style, but there's usually a pretty clear separation between the actual rule/instruction and the "silly troll nonsense" so you still understand what the rule is. Occasionally I get a pang of worry if that "half movement" is actually impactful somehow and despite the rule page being revealed, I'm one mistake away from cheating without ever realizing it.

And a small thing, but she's said to move like a "castle", and we never see how a castle can move. "Towers" can move in straight lines, and since 2 towers make a castle, you could infer that castles also move like that, but since you can't ever move castles outside of cheating turns, there isn't a clear way to see how the entirely new piece moves.

Agreed. Should have been tower instead of castle in the Queen's description.
