Page 11 at www.gebruikershandleiding.com/999-games-Elfenland/preview-handleiding-574908.html mentions this rule. Translated into English: "He distributes eight new travel cards to all players. The players have between zero and four cards from the previous turn. Thus they have eight to twelve travel cards the next turn."
1. Deal The Travel Tards
On the first round, the Starting Player shuffles the Travel Cards and
deals 8 cards to each player. The remaining cards are placed in a
stack next to the board. On subsequent rounds, the Starting Player
shuffles all Travel Cards from the Travel Card stack. He then deals
new Travel Cards to each player until each player holds eight
Travel Cards in his hand.
People that own the hard-copy of the game hold up their copy of the official rule book that came with the game and it's hard to explain that on this platform their rules are not supported. If it was a detail, it would have been alright, but this rule changes the game dynamics quite a lot
Is it possible to have an option to select 'keep up-to 4 cards et the end of a round and deal 8 cards each round'? I don't care if it is a defect or not, as long as I have that rule set as an option, I'm happy.
I do agree with @wizztick that this drawing of 8 cards opens a new strategic possibilities. I would be nice to allow others to also experience this extra level of strategy in Elfenland.
