Detailed description

• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
House Rule option to allow first edition campfire relight at trail end.
The option to use earlier edition rules as implemented house rules would better mimic the tabletop experience, not to mention prevent some bug reports of people thinking campfire not getting relit is due to a bug. This occurred with our having played in person and not realizing the edition changes. A couple house rules like this from earlier rules could be popular enough to merit implementing maybe?

I ran into many people confused about it and when I pointed it out, they thought it was a bug. Only by almost submitting a bug report did I see other people had some that and followed the trail to realize it was a rules update between editions. I think using alternate older rules here and there could be a good house Rule option when making a game. Hopefully that would allow people to enjoy it however they want and maybe naming it sometime like first edition such and such rule or rules will help people realize that didn't notice.
Some updates are more minor, but this edition making a strategic move that many relied on not part of the normal game does make sense to me, but also, I know people like to play with the old rules still often. Thanks for your consideration.

We're not at liberty to add house rules. We need to stick to what's officially supported by the publisher.

I came here to report the same issue before realizing it isn't a bug. The rules page below the game still indicates you flip the campfire. I'm looking into changing that so other's don't get confused.
