Question, which I don't think the rules cover.

What if for some reason I would prefer to have what's on an ice-floe than what's in my backpack, but my backpack is full? Can I pick stuff up and leave other things behind?

For example, if I have three ropes and stop on an ice-floe with a fish on it, can I pick up the fish, and leave one of my ropes behind?

Or again... if I go fishing, and pay a rope for two fish, but I only have space in my pack for one fish (I guess it's so cold they don't smell?) do I just get one fish, or can I take the two and leave something else from my pack on an ice floe?

To me, it seems like it would make sense in both situations to allow some rearrangement of the backpack (although I get that it's a virtual magic backpack accessible from multiple locations at once so maybe normal physics doesn't apply...)

I see no rule that prevents what you suggest.

On page 3 of the english rules (pdf on BGG) it says:

Object Questions:
Can I discard an object that I don't need or want without using?
You may discard Items from your backpack at anytime, to make room for preferred items (eg. just before collecting a required item or before going fishing). Leave your discarded itemson the curtrent ice floe - available forothers to collect.


So yes you can rearrange your backpack.

You're right - my mistake. I missed that sidebar section.
