April Game Changes Coming April 2nd

by James Heaney, Rules Manager (1E)

1st April 2024

Last month, I informed you:

>> Next game change is scheduled for April 1, 2024. And that's not an April Fool's joke!

FALSE!

Although April 1st is indeed the First Monday of the month, our draft 1E department policy actually says that First Monday releases will be deferred to First Tuesday when First Monday falls on Ostermontag (Easter Monday), a holiday in parts of Europe. Therefore, this month's ban / watch / errata / rules changes will all debut tomorrow, April 2, 2024.

This blackout day gives those of us on staff who are partying all day on Sunday (cough cough me) time to finish our articles and document updates in time for the release. Next month's release will also be on the First Tuesday, May 7, due to the UK bank holiday over that weekend.

All that being said, I did manage to finish an interesting Rules Q&A in time to kick off April, so you can check that out to tide you over until tomorrow's full release.

Other than that, we'll see you tomorrow! Happy Easter Monday!
