Re: Discard/Gift Non-Items
Ooohhhkay- so there's potentially going to be a lot of cards circulating between players during the game - this makes a LOT more sense.
So, I was in a situation last night where I couldn't get off level one - I drew nothing but curses from the deck and i didn't really have anything helpful in my hand. What should've happened was other players should have fed me discards, which would have let me circulate those through my hand allowing me to discard non-helpful cards into the deck next time my charity phase rolled around? I posted a question somewhere else yesterday about Cthulhu where I was a cultist, and stuck with two other class cards in my hand - I thought I couldn't get rid of those, but (again) the charity phase is the chance to cycle those cards out of your hand, yes? |

Re: Discard/Gift Non-Items
You mention
[/QUOTE] If I pick up a Monster card while Looting the Room, and again I only have 4 cards in my hand, can I discard it instead of keeping it?[/QUOTE] You only draw loot from the treasure pile don't you? That means you would not ever draw a monster card (other than for your first phase)? My understanding is that the only monsters in play for the purpose of "Looking for trouble" are the ones in your hand from the initial deal. I'm I correct in that? Sorry...a bit off topic from the original question. |

Re: Discard/Gift Non-Items
Under standard rules, you draw a face-down Door card when you Loot The Room.

Re: Discard/Gift Non-Items
And if you are using the Fast Play rules, so that you are drawing a Treasure instead of a Door when Looting the Room, then you are getting at least one Door card directly into your hand during the Listening at the Door phase instead.

Re: Discard/Gift Non-Items
You can get Monster cards in your hand from your initial "deal," through the Looting the Room phase, and through Charity. I would suggest re-reading the turn phases section of the rules, where looting the room is described.

Also: please don't call those the "Fast Play" rules. We gave it a specific name so we could be very clear about what rule is being discussed. If you mean Listening at the Door, call it that. I can't stress enough how important consistent terminology is for new players.

Re: Discard/Gift Non-Items
Sorry folks...I misread the rules about looting the room...drawing door cards, not treasure cards. I just intuitively connected "looting" with "treasure". Having played a game the proper way I see it flows much better now!! Thanks for the input.
I'll read and re-read the rules before I post any other questions :) |
