Hipster question

[Andrew Adams]

The Hipster card says, “A Hipster may ignore any “Usable only by” or “Not usable by” rules. To me, I see no real downsides to this card.

There is also “Curse: Bitten by a Caffinated Hipster” that reads, “If you aren’t already a Hipster, go through the door discards (and the deck if necessary). The first Hipster card you find becomes yours.

My question is, how is this a curse? Seems like a GOOD thing to me. Can I curse myself?

Please don't bump posts. If you have a rule question that has been overlooked, we have a thread for that.

The short form is that yes, you can Curse yourself. As to why you might not want to be a Hipster, that depends on how annoying you want to make yourself in the quest for Munchkin glory. Rules-wise, there isn't much of a down side.
