Slimy Armor

Romance363 · 07-13-2015, 09:20 AM

I don't have my game in front of me right now, but I was confused when I came to the Slimy Armor card. On the bottom of the card it doesn't actually say armor. I've been playing it as a miscellaneous item that makes your armor slimy. I'm curious as to the correct use and if there are any other cards not indicated as armor, footwear, head, etc. Similarly, Spiky Knees and Singing and Dancing Sword are not labeled as armor or 1 hand respectively. In my games, I just assume spiking news alters your armor and gives you a bonus, and the singing and dancing sword, because it has arms and legs, does not need to be held.

Slimy Armor is meant to be Armor. If yours doesn't say Armor on it, then it's likely an older printing that has since been fixed. I've got a 28th printing version in hand that says Armor.

But you are correct in that there are Items that exist and truly do not take up any slots.

Thanks a lot!!! I'll just use my best judgement with my deck then. I just bought it a couple weeks ago!!! I'm surprised that it's out of date.

Can you answer a couple of questions?

1) Is this the English-language version?

2a) If not, which language is it?

2b) If so, can you tell us which printing it was? That information should be on the bottom or the back of the box, and if you can't find it, that means it was REALLY old (seven or eight years, at least).

1st Edition, 24th printing, January 2013. I just played with my girlfriend and Slimy Armor is indeed marked as armor. I must have gotten it confused with the Spiky Knees conundrum. Everything is good for now I think!!! I'm loving this game and can't wait to get the expansions!! The help is much appreciated and I'm sure it won't be the last time!!
