"Help Me Out Here" card
The Help Me Out Here card states that you can take an item from another player while in combat that would be the difference between your winning or not. AFTER combat, we have been giving the item BACK to the original owner of the item. We thought it was a borrowing card. So.... do you indeed KEEP the item after combat??? I thought I read so somewhere along one of the threads. Now that we went back and read the card we are all confused. I do not remember which pack the card came in and it actually isn't marked at the bottom like the unnatural axe, and need for steed and such...

Re: "Help Me Out Here" card
It's from the base Munchkin, which is why it doesn't have an expansion icon. And yes, you keep the item, not return it. If I'm not mistaken, the card text says "take" one item. That means you take it and keep it.

Re: "Help Me Out Here" card
I second DoomedDuck's opinion for the same reason. The cards says to take the Item, not borrow it.

Re: "Help Me Out Here" card
I'm fairly certain that you read it on the other forum because I know we've covered that one several times. I'll confirm the opinions with official fact: You keep the card.
Though icons have been around a while (even before there was full-color Munchkin), it's always possible to find pre-icon sets. However, more often than not, if you have a card without an icon, it came from core set of that genre. However, there are links to specific card lists on the product pages for every set and expansion. Look towards the bottom, usually in first bullet under Resources.

Re: "Help Me Out Here" card
I have a question about the help me out here card; Can one take an item that one could not normally use. For example, if I am a warrior can I steal a clerics mace of sharpness? Or any other example.
Thanks for your help! |

No. The card doesn't mention avoiding any carrying or usage restrictions.

Re: "Help Me Out Here" card
The whole point is that you must be able to use the Item, since the card mentions that the Item must make the difference between winning and losing. It allows you to get rid of an Item that is "in the way," but that does not imply that you can use an Item you couldn't normally use because of Race, Class, or gender restrictions.

Re: "Help Me Out Here" card
Am I correct in assuming, then, that the aforementioned item could still be played IF there was a CHEAT card?
