Lifeboat_Rules_[EN]_with_Stick.pdf (7.42 MB) (Log in or Register to download.)
PDF file of existing english rules (from publisher site) edited to include the stick rules from the German Rules (added to last page of PDF in previously blank area).
This should make this easier to find out the stick rules referred to in the forums
In my original German edition the Stick indicates the Starting player, rotates clockwise each turn, and is only used to break ties (not to end negotiations).
