Thanks!\r\n\r\nWeb version takes a minute or two to load after picking \"New Game\".\r\nIf you give up on a recipe, you will no longer be able to attempt either of the recipes you selected. This may keep you from being able to complete the game.\r\n\r\nWelcome to the Tournament of Craftsmen!\r\n\r\n\tThe king is hosting a tournament to find the fastest, and most daring craftsmen in the realm! Will you sit back and choose simple recipes you know you can make quickly, or will you try for the hardest and win more gold? \r\n\r\n\tEach round you will pick two recipes: a first, and a second. The game consists of ten rounds, so in total you will have ten seconds. After you pick your two recipes, you will get a bonus if they are part of the same set. Next you will be allowed five seconds to view the first recipe. After the time is up, you will be given as much time you need to collect your thoughts. When you are ready to begin, let the judge know. You will have ten seconds to craft the item. Don't worry if you can't complete it in time, but you will receive a bonus if you do! You will then move on to repeat the same process for the second recipe you chose. Once both have been crafted, you will move on to the next round.\r\n\tTry to pick recipes that look like they would go together, and receive a bonus. Each recipe's value is based on the number of material types it consists of, and the total number of materials. The more there are of each, the higher the worth!\r\n\r\nGood Luck Craftsmen!\r\n \r\n","title":"King Craftsman"}
