Cards on the Table Qs
Just got our first game Munchkin Bites...had a blast playing it but i need to clarify some things.
1) what cards CANNOT go on the table? Like Monster Enhancers? or Curses? This pertains to keeping 5 cards in your hand. What stops me from putting all my cards on the table? 2) If, for example, I have 2 head gear (both on the table), one in-use and one is sideways; can I switch between them? Swap them being in-use and sideways. Or do I need to discard the in-use one before using another headgear? In the rules it says you cant simply discard a BIG item to use small ones but you have to sell or trade, etc but nothing about just turning it sideways. Thanks! |

It doesn't say you can just turn the BIG item sideways so the impression I get is you had to get rid of it. |

Re: Cards on the Table Qs
Half-Breed is part of your Race, so it would have to be played to the table and kept there to confirm that you are, in fact, a Half-Breed. The card tells you that you only lose it if you lose the Race(s) it is attached to, which also implies that the card remains in play.
I can see how that might be confusing. However, Big Items can be turned sideways, as I said, because they are still Items. However, turning it sideways does not allow you to put another Big Item into play. In order to play a Big Item when you already have one in play, you must do those things the rules mention in order to get rid of the Big Item you already have in play. An example would be a Big Item that is Armor, but has a lower bonus than some other small Armor Item you would like to use. You can turn the Big Armor sideways to use the other Armor, but that wouldn't then allow you to play a Big Hand Item until you'd found a legal way to get rid of the Big Armor. The important issue here is that you can't discard Items you have in play, regardless of size, just because you want to. |

But using the same analogy on the rule where Big and Small Items can't be together just like Big and Big can't be together I would think you couldn't play Small Items while a Big Item is turned sideways. |

Re: Cards on the Table Qs
There is nothing in the rules that says you can't have small Items when you have a Big Item. The rules say the following: You can have any number of small Items in play; along with all of your small Items, you may have only one Big Item in play. In other words, you can have, in play, as many small Items as you like, even if you have a Big Item in use or turned sideways. You can also play new small Items while you have a Big Item in play, in use or turned sideways.

Re: Cards on the Table Qs
Stating this very clearly: There are no restrictions limiting the number of Small items you may have in play.
