The nature of Parlour Nouveau is as an ever-evolving game. As such, it is always tricky to compare scores between different versions of the game.
Here's how to intpret the Version Number:
Major Version Number.Content Number.Minor Version NumberIf the
Major Version Number increases, it means it is worth your time to visit again as there's been enough content added to warrant a revisit.
Every time the
Content Number increases, new puzzles or game mechanics have been added.
Finally, the
Minor Version Number indicates scoring or pedantic changes, like rules edits or modifications that could impact a player's score.
