Team Historical Holdings - you have not added a book to Ballad for the purchase of the property. Please update ASAP, as your turn concluded.
Ah! Sorry, doing that now! I didn't scroll that sheet over. I was thinking I was missing something since I hadn't logged the book anywhere.

@Ashley, the square I landed on says 'Advance to' but doesn't say where. Also, which are the purple squares?
Mod
It's fixed, somehow the formula was altered.
It says "Advance to Genre Junction".
And, to clear up the next question you might have, if you land on an "Advance to..." space and it requires you to pass more than 1 salary space, are you able to collect more than one salary?
No, you'll treat it as though you passed a single space.
Also, I'm sorry for the confusion. Salary spaces are Yellow (not purple, which was a holdover from last year's game). I've corrected it in the How-To.
The spaces on the board that apply say "Collect SALARY when Passing ➡️" directly on them, in case you are using a browser/app that changes the color of things.

This thread is for CAPTAINS and CO-CAPTAINS of the Founding Factions Game ONLY!
Use this thread to record your team’s rolls, moves, payments, purchases, completions, and any other game actions. This is the official record of gameplay — accuracy is non-negotiable.
🛑 READ THIS CAREFULLY:
You are required to post TWO posts per turn in this thread using the exact format below.
DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE FORMAT. If your post doesn’t follow the structure, your turn may be considered incomplete or invalid.
I get it — it sounds rigid. But when something breaks (and it will), clean formatting is what lets us trace the issue and fix it fast. Consistency matters — help us keep this game running smoothly.
⏳ Turn Timing Rules (2025 Update)
🔹Your team has 72 hours from the time of the roll to complete the prompt(s)/ challenge(s) and post your results here in the Turns Thread.
🔹Missing the deadline may result in a penalty — communication is key!
🔹NOTE: These are maximum timeframes. You're encouraged to go faster!
🔹If you anticipate delays or need more time, contact a Mod before the deadline — do not message or pressure another team.
