Rules: Rules proofing involves proof reading the final draft of the rules for grammar, spelling, and punctuation with all graphics and charts placed appropriately. Detailed attention is required to note any discrepancies in the rules sequence and note any inconsistencies between the map and counters to the rules.  A hard copy proof of the material is sent out with about 14 days to read, mark and return to the Senior Game Developer with prepaid shipping that is provided. All proofs are handled via hard copy and limit proofers to being in the continental US to be on the team.
