Wind strength: problem with the rules, the components, or me?

[Barks]

The printed rulebook (v1.01) has different rules.

If you draw a '+' or '-', leave it on the gauge. The next turn, if you draw a '.', the wind changes. If you draw the opposite symbol to the one on the gauge, nothing happens, and the counters are returned to the pool.
If you draw a '.' and there was nothing on the gauge, the wind doesn't change, and return the counter to the pool.

So, if you draw a wind strength change counter, there's a 75% chance of the wind changing strength next turn, and a 25% chance it will stay the same. Experienced captains are watching the water for approaching squalls and calms.

I hope that made sense.

It would've taken me quite some time to figure this out. Thanks!

If I understood well,

When plus (+) is on gauge, and you draw a plus (+), wind changes.
When plus (+) is on gauge, and you draw blank ( . ), wind changes.
When minus (-) is on gauge, and you draw a minus (-), wind changes.
When minus (-) is on gauge, and you draw a blank ( . ), wind changes.

When plus (+) is on gauge, and you draw a minus (-), wind doesn't change.
When minus (-) is on gauge, and you draw a plus (+), wind doesn't change.

Am I right?

Am I right?

You're on the right track, but if you look at the component picture in the first post you'll see there is only one of each +/ - symbol. You can't get ++ or --.

Thus:

+, . change
+, - no change
-, . change
-, + change
