+**Staged Basic prototype, not a selectable game mode.** Group members can
+pledge and allocate separate shares while a shipper's purchased Karama rate
+is active. The same rate applies to physical reserve shipments and native
+Guild transport, and every paid share goes to the bank rather than Guild.
+The existing native transport permission response still applies. Controls use
+the purchased price; bots can ship using their own funds. The donor allocation
+procedure remains provisional, and optional modules and other special
+shipments remain outside this staged scope. Group games cannot yet be started
+from the lobby.
