Fort
Why is the made-up rule stack one card bigger than the player count?
The rulebook gives the stack size, but the reason comes from two community posters who agree it is about choice and secrecy.

The rulebook only says to deal the stack at players plus one; the reason is not stated. Players on BGG read the extra card two ways: it gives the last player to reach Fort Level 1 a little choice, and it means nobody can be sure which made-up rule each rival holds.
