Graphics for sample moves

The graphics for the sample moves show a yellow player. However, the stain for yellow is indistinguishable from the background color.

I know that when I've played on a PC, I can tell them apart. Did the graphics get messed up during the shrinking, or are the colors displayed on a mac (Firefox) different? --Behindcurtai 22:00, 26 January 2006 (PST)

Barely visible here as well. The screenshots are fairly old as well, though they do still reflect the puzzle well. --Thunderbird 00:16, 27 January 2006 (PST)

The colors are off, the cyan's not quite cyan and the board is too yellow. I've made a few quick fixed images using another drinking graphic to redo the board parts. It should serve well enough at least temporarily. You may need to click on each image in the wiki and hit reload to get the newer version. (Speaking of the graphics, I actually don't see the pictures on the official document in help, only here on the wiki) --Guppymomma 07:15, 27 January 2006 (PST)

Ah, that's a bug. Found and fixed. --Lizthegrey 09:25, 27 January 2006 (PST)

Mug Powers

Are these up to date?

1. Tankard = +40 points for each of your pieces in a row cleared that you lost
2. Chalice = Pieces can be played on any stained space (they need not be played adjacent to other pieces)

--Behindcurtai 22:02, 26 January 2006 (PST)

Corrected. When was the Chalice limited to stained spots? On Ice before new drinking came out? (I paid little attention to new drinking while it was on Ice) --Thunderbird 00:16, 27 January 2006 (PST)

New mug abilities

The special abilities of mugs in the documentation were never adjusted after the mugs we rebalanced in Release 2006-03-30. The mug section should read something like this:

1. Wooden Cup = +5 points for every piece placed
2. Goblet = +10 points for every piece placed
3. Pitcher = +45 points for drinking a drink
4. Flagon = Rows or columns you win are worth 50% more points
5. Stein = Gain 15 extra points when gaining a stain, lose 5 extra points when losing a stain
6. Horn = Take two extra plays after completing a row (if available in drink choice slots)
7. Tankard = +50 points for each of your pieces in a row cleared that you lost
8. Skull = Take an extra play when playing fries, keg, or hook, but lose 40 points
9. Chalice = Pieces can be played on any space (they need not be played adjacent to other pieces), +5 bonus points per neighboring piece

This is rather misleading to new players and needs to be fixed. --Shogia 19:10, 5 August 2006 (PDT)

Very true. I'll see if I can't get clearance to correct this (or just get one of the blue names to do it for me) --Ponytailguy 19:26, 5 August 2006 (PDT)

This, then would be the complete section: --AtteSmythe 15:27, 6 August 2006 (PDT)

I made the change. Look all right to you? --Eurydice 17:47, 6 August 2006 (PDT)

If anything, now that the wooden cup has a power the picture might need to be added so as not to confuse people. Otherwise it looks great! --Shogia 7:42, 7 August 2006 (PDT)

Player Mugs

Player mugs may be purchased at the local distillery, and will give their holder a unique power in the drinking game. Note that choosing the classic drinking configuration means that no player mug powers will be used, regardless if they player has one equipped or not. The player mug powers are as follows:

• Wooden Cup = +5 points for every piece placed
• Goblet = +10 points for every piece placed
• Pitcher = +45 points for drinking a drink
• Flagon = Rows or columns you win are worth 50% more points
• Stein = Gain 15 extra points when gaining a stain, lose 5 extra points when losing a stain
• Horn = Take two extra plays after completing a row (if available in drink choice slots)
• Tankard = +50 points for each of your pieces in a row cleared that you lost
• Skull = Take an extra play when playing fries, keg, or hook, but lose 40 points
• Chalice = Pieces can be played on any space (they need not be played adjacent to other pieces), +5 bonus points per neighboring piece
