Restraining order & GM Snort Soda

[jellinger]

During a game of Munchkin earlier, the winning combat was questioned by us players, and we couldn't agree on who was right.
The scenario:
Player one was at level 9 and played the "Restraining Order" card on Player 2.
No other players had cards to stop him from winning, so he successfully beat the monster and advanced to level 10 to win.
Player 2 then played "Make the GM snort soda out his nose" which states specifically that you may play it, EVEN after someone thinks they have just won the game to make them go down a level.

The argument was that since the player had beat the monster and gone up to "win" level 10, their turn was over which means the restraining order was no longer in effect, allowing player 2 to then play the "GM snort soda" card.

Is the restraining order still in effect at this point? Other players thought that the turn was over, so the restraining order was no longer protecting player one but it is a confusing combination of cards when they're together so we just called it game over and player one wins.

How do these two cards work in this scenario?

I would say it was still in effect. Reason being that if he hadn't played Restraining Order and you made him lose a level after he won, it would still be his turn. The turn doesn't end until charity phase, which you never reach if you win at the end of combat.

It depends on the wording of the card. I believe Restraining Order says for the rest of the combat, not until end of turn. I could be wrong, though, I don't have it in front of me.

But if my memory is correct, you'd be able to Make the GM snort soda out his nose and make him lose the level, since at the point where he gains the level and wins, the combat is over.

The card says turn. You can't block the Winning Level with Make GM Snort Soda Out His Nose if someone played Restraining Order against you.
