New family to munchkin, rules questions:

[teqvet]

We just got Munckin Deluxe + Munchkin 2 (the revised Edition) yesterday (the princess pack will arrive Monday) and got in our first game while we ate some grilled burgers. Don't think dinner has taken 2 hours in quite some time ;)

Thewre were a few questions that came up over the course of the game play but the one I remember right now has to do with discard and effects. My wife was rather creative with her interpretaion of the rules after we read the snippet in the book about the arguing over dice due to lack of specification on who goes first after the dice roll (high or low roll etc).

Using this creativity, she decided that she could use the discarding cards effect and have it apply to 2 separate cards. She was a cleric so had the class effect of gaining +3 vs undead if she discarded a card (or something like that) however before she did that she played another card that let her discard x amount of cards and draw x amount of cards.

According to her, she was playing her discard card to draw the new cards, but since she happened to be fighting a monster as well, undead at that, then she could apply the 'discarded cards effect' to her cleric as well.

We let it go for the game but decided we would look for clarification over the weekend. I said it wasn't meant like that, but she's a boundaries pusher, especially when she's behind (ha!) but agreed it was a creative way of reading the cards.

You may not "double dip" the discards.

That's what I had assumed but we'll go by that in the future. Thanks.
