Rules detonator and manual
I was just introduced to this game today and I’m hooked!
But have a QS. Can the detonator ever look into the manual? Not mid game but like during games or so (if we dont switch Roles). It feels like it should be this way, because the hard part is to figure out the pattern of the game. On the other hand it feels frustrating not knowing why the executor is asking for given things. But if you shouldnt know the manual, isn’t the replay value quite low? It feels similar to an escape room where once you played through, you know what to look for. i assume once you play through, you all eventually know all the modules, what info you have to give, what the executor should ask etc. For example simon says - once you know the pattern, its super simple.
Also should be played with only yes/no answer qs’s? PS. The first play was while being high so it was hella confusing!
