Are players required to keep their runes visually clear and readable, or is it acceptable to stack runes on top of each other making the count difficult to see at a glance?

Ruling: Players are not explicitly required to maintain a visually clear game state for runes. The rules only require maintaining a clear game state by communicating public information (like rune count) when asked and when it is updated. However, stacking runes in a way that obscures the count to gain an advantage could be considered angle shooting.

Nuances:

• Rune count is public information that must be communicated accurately when requested
• Stacking runes fanned out is generally acceptable, but stacking them flush on top of each other to hide the count is questionable
• While not explicitly required by rules, deliberately obscuring rune count for advantage may fall under angle shooting
• The current rules could benefit from clarification on this issue
