Oh damn I feel dumb.  But you are right, and I should be confused by what was in package 5.  And IIRC, one of the things I opened had the instruction to open the page that contained all the stuff behind the spoiler.  So does this mean there's a good chance I'm missing something then?  Since I didn't open door 5?

Accepted and upvoted.  Next time we play I'll know to fix it.

You should have opened *door* 5, not box 5. You can tape box 5 back up and continue with the game with no ill effects, especially as the meaning of the contents of box 5 is not apparent to you at this time.

From what I remember, when you are instructed to open a box (or package as the game refers to it), it will specifically say "Open Package #". Numbers in circles are doors to be opened, and letters in circles are rules to be opened (same mechanism as doors).

According to [this thread](https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1500066/full-game-spoilers-numbered-contents-all-legacy-co), the contents of door 5 is
