[Edu] questions about Eco Fluxx

[Kimberly Terrill]

Conno and Ki have very mild autism and are very, very strict with the
lettter oof the law... so if the composting card says "it's ok to look at
the bottom card first" They will insist we do EXACTLY as the rule says...
which states 'card' as a singular. Actually, I was afraid they would have
trouble with the game because of the changing rules, but they really like
it. I guess because even though the rules change, but there is always a
written new rule. When they were done playing the had to sort and count the
different types of cards.

I think everyone is happy now, thanks.
