Read first: the Game Manual is the official rulebook

The MARLIN 2026 Game Manual (PDF) is the official rulebook for Link Lockdown.

If a post in this forum disagrees with the Game Manual, the Game Manual is right.

Use this category to ask how a rule applies. Please:

  • quote the rule number from the Game Manual;
  • say which version of the manual you are reading;
  • add a photo or diagram if it helps.

Answers here help explain the rules. They do not change them. Rule changes appear only in a new version of the Game Manual.
