Hi all,
I have a very simple question on how to eplore the house right after game starts, I think it might be explained clearly in the second edition rulebook but english is not my foreign language so I might just not get the rules correctly.
I understand that, when I move thrugh a door to an empty space, I have to draw the upper card from the room pile and place it on the desk, according to the level I am right now (upper, ground or basement).
Now I run into the following problem, I am at the entrance and want to explore the room behind the right door, the upper card on the card stockpile shows just "upper" and "basement", what should I do?
a) just draw a new card until "ground" is highlited on the uppermost card of the room stockpile (and what to do later with the unused rooms I put aside this way) or
b) I am not allowed to explore on the ground level and need to explore the "upper" or "basement" levels, because these are the highlighted levels on the uppermost card on my room stockpile and I need to use this card before having access to another one.
I hope I made my problem clear as I said english is not my main language but I tryed to describe as good as I could.
I would be glad for any help,
thx a lot for your help in advance.

You draw from the pile until you find a tile with the apropriate level (ground on your situation) So after that you have two piles. You keep draw from the first one until they run out and then you suffle the 2nd one.

Did this change in 2nd edition? I'm pretty sure 1st edition said to put the unused tiles back on the bottom of the deck. Not that it matters much, but with that method, you don't ever shuffle the rooms.

The one thing we do that is slightly different is that we don't bother reshuffling the new pile (the pile that is created after you've gone through the tiles and have run out of your particular floor). It's already been shuffled in the initial tile shuffle and moving them into a new pile isn't in any way going to affect the order the tiles are in. No reason why you can't shuffle them anyway, it's just a small step we skip that doesn't break anything in the way of game mechanics.
So, what we do is this:
(1) Pull tile - is it for the floor you're on? Awesome, place it and move on with the next step.
(2) The tile you pulled isn't for the floor you're on? Keep pulling tiles until you get to one for the floor you're on.
(3) Make a new pile out of the tiles you've pulled in such a manner (the tiles you pulled that weren't for the floor you're on).
(4) When the initial tile pile is finished, start pulling from the new pile of tiles created from steps 2 and 3 without shuffling.

Does it matter ? No one sees what the actual room is and if anyone can remember the exact order (including which levels each tile had on it) the tiles were discarded in then kudos to them !
Hence my comment that it doesn't matter much...
I was just interested in whether this was a rule they introduced in 2nd edition, that's all.
