discarding invalid cards

Boaz Reinders · 08-10-2012, 06:26 PM

hey guys, I searched all over the forum but couldnt find a good answer for my question.

1 What If a player plays a card or a power wich at that time isn't possible?
for instance: throwing a potion against somewone with the rain coat.

2 What if a player discard a card to use an ability or power like theft ability on someone with the helmet of Peripheral vision.

Can the player take the cards back to his hand/in play or was it a dumb move to do and does he need to be punished for his stupidity (as in, he played the cards so he lost them to the discardpile).

Depends on the other players.

In a game with experienced players, its a tough luck, you blew it, issue. If its a game of new players, they'll get a couple of take backs and explanantions prior to being told tough luck, pay attention.

It's important for experienced players to enforce the rules and make them discard it. This is mostly due to the fact that if you're clever you can use this to your advantage to discard cards that you don't need without having to give them away as charity.

I would say it depends on the card. It doesn't look like the raincoat would allow someone to use the potion. But the HoPV might, the wording seems kinda ambiguous if it would not allow the effect or the effect would, well have no effect.

so If the players are experienced enough we can all laugh at the player since he lost a card? hehe.

But if for example I have a card wich says Other players 'CANNOT use any enhancers against you in your next combat' And someone plays an enhancer, then he gets his card back right?

That's how I have always handled it. Then, I laugh at them for exposing their card(s).
