Tracing the Rules

There are two ways to start the tracing of a player's execution of the rules. One way is to select Player from the menu bar and then select Show xxxxx's Decisions, where xxxxx is either North, South, East, or West. A second way is to right mouse click on the seat name in the panel that shows a player's cards. If the player's decisions are set to be traced, an "!" will appear in front of the seat name in the player's card panel. When a player is set to be traced, an Executing Rule Set window will pop up when the bid button is pressed for that player's turn to bid.
