Starting monies

[Sibowitz]

Starting money is 5 coins. In the mustering you receive a further 3 coins...so 1st turn you have 8 coins, correct ? or does the start coins supersede the need for the mustering 3 coins.

We have been skipping the +3 at start, which is making it a challenge to buy soldiers in late turns.

Each player gets a fixed income of 3 extra coins per Year, that are added to the other coins earned or saved from the previous Years (including the 5 starting coins).

If you watch the Jogando game play video, you will notice that they start the game with 8 coins to spend (5+3)

Yes, it is 5 +3 coins on the first year.
