Theoneandonlygps: Made it more concise

BGA Tip: You can click the cog just above your name to auto-pass close assault reactions.

Actual tips:

1. Generally speaking Infantry can [Move 1 hex AND Battle] OR [Move 2 Hexes]. This isn't clear on the interface, and will cost you attack actions.

2. More attack actions are better.

3. More dice on those attack actions are better.

4. The goal of the game is to fully kill the requisite amount of enemy units. If an infantry unit is down to 1 guy, it's wise to retreat them into safety to deny your opponent the point.

5. Be careful of stacking your team up in one column. If you have no cards for that column, you waste turns until you do.

6. If an Armor unit can fully kill or retreat a unit in close combat, they can advance and attack again.

7. Keep in mind that if a unit has both retreat hexes occupied, any flags count as hits. This is important both when attacking and when positioning units.

Theoneandonlygps: wording of the discard pile management suggestion

Discard pile management is key. Cards in front have to be played first so try not to put cards you are not going to play immediately in front of others that you need sooner.

Remember that the goal is to get rid of your pile. If you can't "make it" to your goal number it might not be worth it to play any cards. You may wish to play cards if you are trying to free up a discard pile, trying to allow yourself to draw more next time, trying to stop your opponent, or trying to play all of the cards in your hand to draw again and continue your turn. But if you are playing cards that won't lead to your goal card, always have a reason.

Always pay attention to your opponent's goal card. You don't want to inadvertently set them up for an easy play.

Theoneandonlygps: fixed a few grammatical errors and cleared up the language of the objective

== Objective ==

The goal of the Guibole is to lose the least amount of points during a game.

== Playing the game ==

Number of players : 2-6 players.

Guibole is played with a standard 52-card deck. The cards points values are as follow:
* A = 1
* 2 = 2
* ...
* 10, J, Q, K = 10

Cards are dealt one at a time clockwise until all cards have been dealt. And another card is discarded.

When it's your turn to play, you have two possibilities:
* show your cards, if you have 10 points or less in your hand to end the round.
* discard a card (or multiple of same value) '''and''' take the '''first''' card from the pile or the '''last''' discarded card before yours.

'''Note:''' showing your cards by having more than 10 points makes you loose the round.

== End of the game ==

The game will continue until a player loses all their points.

== Points ==

Each player starts with a certain amount of points (depending of the game length).

If you showed your cards and:
- nobody have equals or less points than you, you don't lose any points. Other players lose the points in their hand.

'''Example:''' Bob announce 6 points, Alice have 8 points in hand and Peter 12. Bob don't lose points. Alice loose 8 and Peter 12 points.

- Anybody have equals or less points than you, you lose the points in your hand * 2 + 25 points. The players who countered don't lose points. Other players lose the points in their hand.

'''Example:''' Bob announce 6 points, Alice have 6 points in hand and Peter 12. Bob loose 6 * 2 + 25 = 39 points. Alice don't lose points and Peter lose 12 points.

- You had more than 10 points in your hand, you lose 10 * 2 + 25 points. Other players doesn't lose any points.
