Chez Goth Rule Question
roomie and i were playing this for the first time tonight, and on our second game something kinda broke.
i was a video clerk. on my turn after i played people but before i took any actions or went shopping, she played a "Whenever" card called "I was too good for them" Card text:
I then countered by playing my own "Whenever" card on myself, "New Job"
SO, here is the problem.
I'm now completely unsure of how to proceed. On my next turn, her card effect seems like it should still be in effect, which would mean i can do nothing but draw a job card. I saw no rules stating a person can only have 1 job at a time, and the "New job" card only says i draw a new job card immediately if i don't have a job card, it doesn't say it cancels out the effects of previous cards. The "I was too good for them" specifically says to discard a job card, and the "New Job" mentions that i shuffle any job card i have back into the job deck Does this mean i suddenly have two jobs? my guess is that the spirit of the game says No, but the rules of these cards played in this way completely break the spirit with the rule text. Do i get to continue my current turn and take actions or go shopping? her card didn't say my turn ended or anything like that, and my guess is that the spirit of her play was to basically end my turn and my ability to do anything Do i keep the income i had before i "lost" the original job (video clerk)? Timing wise, it seems like if i left a job, i'd still get a "final paycheck" for time put in before i left, so it stands to reason that i'd still have the earned income even if i lost the job. How is free time handled once you lost a job? Losing the job also means losing the free time it afforded me, though in reality i'd suddenly have a LOT more free time if i just lost the job. so, if the spirit of the play is to prevent me from doing much of anything at all, (sudden loss of income, sudden loss of "free time" as one searches for a new job), it SEEMS like playing "New Job" should act more like a counterspell and completely negate all the effects of the "I was too good for them" card, including the lingering events that would occur on my next turn (you can do nothing but draw a new job card). HELP!!!! Last edited by A Murder of Crows; 07-06-2021 at 07:12 AM. |
