Garage Door Opener (Star Munchkin)
What is the timing limitation on using the GDO? For instance, Player D has GDO. Player A kicks down the door. By the time Player A finishes reading the card aloud Player B plays a Room card (Cantina is the room card played). Has the statue of limitations on GDO already passed? If not, must they use it before Players B, C, & D player their Monsters? Can they use it after it is determined if the other players aren't going to play monsters?
Also, if the GDO was used on a monster that says Lose 2 levels even if you successfully run away do you automatically lose those levels without the ability to do anything? Last edited by tremorlaine; 10-20-2012 at 11:47 PM. |

Re: Garage Door Opener (Star Munchkin)
So the question is that player D wants to use the GDO to discard A's card and player B wants to play a Room instead. I understand that GDO requires discards, so the order of play will be determined by which action happens first: either B's Room hitting the table or the discards for GDO hitting the table. B should really wait until A has read the card for fairness, though, given that the two players are essentially racing. Player D cannot wait around to see what his opponents are doing, such as playing Wandering Monsters before making up his mind to use the GDO to discard anything except the most recent monster.

Re: Garage Door Opener (Star Munchkin)
I personally don't like slapjack instance where speed of playing cards determines an outcome. Essentially both players were reaching in there hands to stop Player B from winning combat. As it played out the Room hit the table first. Does that mean that Player D can no longer use the GDO?

Re: Garage Door Opener (Star Munchkin)
We had another instance in a normal game of Munchkin where a player went Looking For Trouble and played a monster along with two other monsters wandered in from his whole hand. As he was explaining the cards he was putting down I jumped in and forced a runaway with Potion of Cowardice knowing full well his next card played was going to be Friendly allowing him to get all the treasures.
In future games should we advise people to put all the cards they are intending to play down at the same time and then explain to avoid having their pre-thought out planned jacked like I did? |

Re: Garage Door Opener (Star Munchkin)
We played with the fast play rules last night and more questions regarding GDO came up.
Can you only use GDO to close a Kick Down The Door monster? Or can it be used while someone is Looking For Trouble? |
