Couple more rules questions
Sorry in advance if this has already been covered, but I just wanted to check in to see if some of my questions could be answered. I'm fairly new to the game and don't know all the card names/text 100%, but I'm sure veteran players will recognize what I'm talking about.
How do big items work, exactly? A situation that comes up often in my group is that someone will play the big rock item, that has no value, and then they'll later get a different Big item that they want to play. They can't put the rock back into their hand, or sell it, so what can be done? Is the only option available to give it away as a gift to another player? In regards to that, can a player refuse your gift if they don't want the item? Another one, how does agreeing upon treasure work when coordinating with another player to defeat a monster? I came upon a situation where a friend of mine was fighting a monster that offered 2 treasure. I offered to help, on the condition that if we were successful, I would no matter what get 1 treasure. He agreed, and I then played the -5 to monster card (I think it's called Baby), that makes the monster also give -1 treasure if defeated. Based on our previous agreement, I was under the assumption I would get the one and only available treasure. My friends shot that down and said I couldn't do it though. Clarification would be appreciated. Once treasure is agreed upon, like in the above scenario, can it be revoked? Once someone has agreed to allow you to help them, can that be revoked by either party? One more, and this goes to how the Cleric works, and how treasure works when teaming up. I was watching the episode of Table Top with Will Wheaton featuring Steve Jackson playing Munchkin, and they did something my friends had never mentioned. When people teamed up to help eachother, the treasure from the fight was shown face up. As far as that goes, when you agree on sharing treasure, do you flip all the treasure face up and then work out who gets what? I couldn't really tell in the video how exactly it was done. If you agree "I get first treasure" does that mean you get first pick of the treasure once they're flipped face up, or would you instead get the first treasure as in the first treasure card (like, the top card of the treasure pile)? Also, with Cleric, my group claims when you kick down the door you can use the Cleric ability to have the top card of the discard pile be your door card (if it's a monster, you fight it, if it's a curse, it's used on you, anything else goes to your hand). They further claim that when doing this, choosing to draw from the top of the discards for your door card, you can do as many cards as you want. So, lets say there's a card in the discard pile 3 cards deep that you want. You kick down the door, choosing to go off the top of the discards, and the first card becomes your door card, and you can discard a total of 3 cards for the Cleric's effect to get the top 3 of the discards, with the very top one being your new kick down the door card. This doesn't sound quite right to me so I'd like clarification. Also, when can the Cleric uses their Redemption ability on Treasure cards after defeating monsters? It's my understanding that it can only happen when assisting someone in a fight, since that's the only time treasure cards are drawn face up. Does it work when someone else helps the Cleric in a fight, or only when a Cleric helps someone else, or both? Or neither? Please clarify. Thanks again in advance for any information you guys can help me with. |

Either party can offer to renegotiate the agreement, but if the other person refuses, the original agreement holds. Quote:

Also note that in this case, you have to decide how many cards to Resurrect before drawing any of them -- you don't draw one and then decide again for the next one.

Re: Couple more rules questions
"Helping," in the context of the Munchkin rules, always means actually joining the fight. Playing cards, even beneficial ones, is not "helping."
