ZBeast: /* Private Investigator (Co-Op Mode) */ If a card allows you to move multiple times in a turn, you still incur the Investigator's penalty, so I updated the language as it was incorrectly stating it only happened if you ended you're turn on that location.

			===Private Investigator (Co-Op Mode)===

			The PI can be used to turn this into a co-operative game

			The players are trying to ALL gain 8 Tentacles before the PI

			Each PI card that can be used will occupy but not block a certain type of resource space

			If you move onto an Investigated space, the PI also gains the depicted resource

			If you move through an Investigated space to finish your turn on a different location, the PI does NOT gain anything

			The PI also has special effects when they gain a Tentacle, gain a Forbidden Knowledge, and they reveal a permanent effect when they gain their 5th Tentacle

			In addition to gaining resources for the above reasons, the PI also has their own turn which is taken at the end of all player turns

			During this turn, the PI gains a resource matching each card in the card display

			If the PI now has at least 13 of one resource, and the Forbidden Knowledge has not been claimed by a player, the PI takes it for themself (which triggers a special effect on their card) and they gain 2 Tentacles then discard the 13 resources

			After the previous check, if the PI has 8 of one resource and the associated Forbidden Knowledge has already been claimed, they gain 1 Tentacle (which triggers a special effect on their card)

			If the PI gained at least 1 Tentacle by either of the previous means, discard the PI card then draw a fresh one, relocating the Magnifying Glasses if applicable

			The PI will win if they gain 8 Tentacles before all the players do, which results in a Loss for you
