I recently had the opportunity to play MEG with players in Thailand.
It is always interesting to experience how they play MEG in the far corners of the globe.
A difference (at least to me) popped up during the Charge Declaration phase where they also use 'passes' like in the Movement Phase (p86). Apparently a foreign visitor Simon H. told them so :D.
Is this correct (can you 'pass' a declaration – max twice) if so, do we need an official clarification?
Yes it is. Don't have the rulebook with me but originally I got it from the rules. You can also discard cards.
Page 77. In any sub-phase you can
* Play a card to prompt an action.
* Make a free action (if one exists).
* Discard a card.
* Pass.
Discard cards in the charge phase can be a useful way of forcing your opponent to discard cards or force his decision before you have to make yours.

Great ! Thx, hadn't noticed it before in the rulebook as it was not mentioned on page 83 - Charge Phase.

Funny as sometimes I did pass during charge phase ! you seem to have forgotten that trick but you can pass only twice and from memory if you pass and the other player also passes, it's over !
Brilliant! Thank all.
It is always great to get the chance to play folks when they visit Thailand, so if you are visiting, please, don't hesitate to contact me or other players here. :)
