Curse to lose my armor with the biggest bonus
New to the forums here but have been looking for a while now.
We were playing Munchkin Booty the other day and I kicked down the door and got the curse to make me lose the armor I was wearing that gave me the biggest bonus. I wasn't wearing any armor at the time but I did have have the fearsome tatoos turned sideways (before I pulled the curse). Another player said that I have to discard that armor because it gives me a +0 and therefore gives me the biggest bonus. I discarded them because I had no reason not to believe him but I would like an official answer. Did I have to discard the armor that I wasn't wearing because it told me to lose the armor that gives me the biggest bonus? |

Re: Curse to lose my armor with the biggest bonus
I choose to wonder why you were carrying the tattoos but not wearing them.
If, however, you weren't wearing them, you weren't wearing armor and so there's no armor being worn for you to discard, IMHO. The exact wording of the specific curse matters, of course, as one might call for the loss of all armor in play (that is, not in your hand, but face-up on the table) and another might remove "the armor that gives the biggest bonus". I, personally, would rule that a +0 bonus is no bonus and cannot be 'biggest', unless perhaps you -also- had in play an armor with "Cursed Thingie" or "Anti-matter" or somesuch attached, which caused that armor to have a negative 'bonus'. All of this is in no way official. I'm terrible at holding my tongue, is all. :-) |

Re: Curse to lose my armor with the biggest bonus
Of the 27 Curse cards in Munchkin Booty and Jump The Shark, there are only two Curses that come close to what you describe: Curse! Scuppered!, which says to lose the Item (not Armor, specifically) that gives you the biggest bonus, and Curse! Keelhauled!, which tells you to "Lose Yer Armor."
In the case of Curse! Scuppered!, you would have to be using the Item in question for it to give you a bonus, and since you were not using Fearsome Tattoos, you wouldn't have to discard the card for that Curse. For Curse! Keelhauled!, since it says to lose your Armor, you must discard all your Armor Items in play, whether you were using them or not, so you would have to discard Fearsome Tattoos. |

Re: Curse to lose my armor with the biggest bonus
What's weird is my search of the database didn't pick up Curse! Man Overboard!, and I created quite the detailed query that should have. . .
