Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In the "How to play?" section, under the "End of a season" heading, it states "When only one Hiker is left on the Trail, the player must move the Hiker to the Trail End on their next turn." However, on page 11 of the actual rulebook PDF, under the heading "Last Player on the Trail", it states "When only one player has Hikers
left on the trail, they must move their Hiker Token(s) directly to Trail’s End..."
These are different, in the first wording, if a player has both their hikers left on the trail, they are free to move along the trail as they wish, until one of their two hikers reaches the trail end, and only at that point are they forced to move their second hiker to the trail end. In the second wording, if a player has both their hikers left on the trail, they are forced to move both of their hiker to the trail end immediately.
FWIW, the first wording is how the original edition of the game worked, so it's understandable where that wording came from. However, this is not how the 2nd edition works, and so the wording on the BGA "How to play?" should be updated. -

Report history
This isn't something we wrote, but (Good News!) it's a user-editable wiki, so you can change it yourself if you're so inclined.
Mostly likely, there's a lot of that wiki left over from the 1st edition that no one has bothered to update.
Again, this isn't something that we write and it's not a bug with the game, so I'm going to close out this report.

- Another table ID / move ID
