Bootlegger rules
- (v4.01) Anomaly: There is exactly one Outsider in every game: the Hermit. Setup is otherwise normal. Even player counts only, no Travellers.
- Duos: After setup, you know that seats 1&2 are a Duo (they are mechanically able to register as the same alignment). This is also true of seats 3&4, 5&6, etc.
