Question 77

A rule that left room

An original explanation of an invented board-game trial.

Our game allowed a player to exchange a card before moving. The first set of rules said that an exchange could happen at any point in a turn. During testing, one player moved, saw an awkward result and then exchanged a card that would have changed the move. We could not agree whether the move should now be repeated.

We rewrote the rule to say that exchanges had to be completed before movement began. The new sentence removed the ambiguity. It did not change which cards were available or how far a piece could travel. It made the order of actions clear, so a player could make a decision without everyone having to invent a ruling afterwards.

In this passage, what does “ambiguity” mean?
