thanking you in anticipation

This seems pretty straight forward. Disaster! Global Worming makes you "Lose Your Footgear" which means you lose all your Footgear. The Clean Socks are protected by their power, so you only lose the Arm-y Boots and a level. If your extra hand from the Boots was in use, you would also need to turn a Handed Item sideways as you no longer have enough hands to use it.

Hi thank you,

Where can I find the card textes of all named cards? I use the german version and maybe we have a translation fail.

Can you tell me where I can find the card texts?


In the german version for Disaster! Global Worming there stands I lose 1 footgear. Thats the reason I split them in different cases. Clean Socks are Footgear too... xD So what would happen when it would meant, I lose one footgear so I could choose one to remove?


Another point:
Arm-Y Boots tells me i get one extra hand on the bottom there stands
- 1 hand

it looks like i would lose 1 hand after I got one, cause of the -

The text isn't available anywhere except the cards themselves, but that does seem to be a translation error as the original version of the card is clear. If you want to use the German version of the card, and I assume the translation on the Clean Socks is the same as it is in English in this case, then you would probably be forced to lose the Arm-y Boots, as the Clean Socks protect themselves, whether you want them to or not.

The "-1 Hand" text is so you can add up the numbers to try to get to 2. Items that use a Hand are "1 Hand", so it makes sense for an extra Hand to be negative in this context. If you are using the Arm-y Boots, a 1-Handed and a 2-Handed Item, the sum total of Hands you are using is (-1) + (1) + (2) = 2, so your Hands are full.

Thanks for your response :)

The German Text says Clean Socks [free tanslation]:

When you lose for any reason your footgear and you have another footgear, you can keep your socks.


Thats the reason I´m confused. I thought, if you are going to lose your Arm-Y Boots and you dont have any other footgear in your hand to play out, you will also lose the socks...

Do you know the real text of Clean Socks in English?

You couldn't use Footgear from your hand since you wouldn't have that Footgear in play. Only Footgear in play would count for this curse and the special ability of Clean Socks.

We do not allow quoting of the card text on the forum, and it's consider impolite to ask people to break the rules. Regardless, the English text that I'm looking at is very clear: If you are using an Item of Footgear along with the Clean Socks, you keep the Clean Socks if you're forced to lose your Footgear. So, in the example you gave, you must discard the Arm-y Boots, lose a Level, and if necessary, stop using an Item that uses 1 Hand.
