Munchkin Steampunk Card: Dolly

[Wizzhare]

Question about the card "Dolly" from Steampunk set and Big Item Rule.

With Dolly in play can you have:
A. Dolly and 1 Big Item in play on your side.
or
B. Dolly and 2 Big Items in play on your side.

It's odd cause we can read it as Dolly as being the Big Item towards the only 1 Big Item rule allowing you to carry another Big Item.

...or we can read it as you carrying 1 Big Item and Dolly carrying 1 Big item...essentially having 3 Big Items including Dolly on your side.

I think the text "it counts as big but carries itself" is what confused us. Makes it sound like it's a Big Item but not a Big Item ...lol.

Thanks.

It's Big (for cards where Bigness matters) but doesn't prevent you from having another Big item (because it carries itself, har har).

So what you're saying is I can just have "Dolly" on table with say "Tuba of Charm"?

or

"Tuba of Charm" on table, with a "Dolly" and a second "Tuba of Charm" in play, because Dolly says it carries an extra big item and doesn't count toward Big Item limit, hence the 2nd Tuba?

Using "Tuba of Charm" as Big Item example.

Thanks Andrew!

Dolly plus a second Big item, both equipped and usable.

Thanks Andrew!
So I can settle argument with buddies and use the example:
Dolly+Big Item(equipped and usable)+2nd Big Item(equipped and usable)
and say Dolly is tagged as Big for the purpose of other cards effects on Big Items.

[Andrew Hackard]

No, that's not what I said. You can have Dolly and ONE OTHER Big item.

Hah sorry Andrew. Thought you meant it was the B option on my first post.
I knew it was option A.!
Your answer pleases me and it means I was right and my friends were wrong.
