I have a question

[Israel_Force]

when you eliminat somebody from the game you don't suppos to have an option to use hes cards immediately?
without waiting for next tern?

[AK_iceman]

if after you eliminate a player, you have 5 or more cards you can cash in the middle of your turn. if you have less cards you have to wait.

[sully800]

Yeah its weird that if you have 6 cards for example you can cash 2 sets at once. I don't think that's the way it should be played but hey, everyone can use it to their advantage in the same way...

[Stopper]

Ah, it's funny, I'm not sure if I've had too many beers, or if I've come across a bug - this was in flat-rate game 40548:

I started off with 3 (uncashable) cards. I eliminated a player (Kaiber) and got 3 cards.

Mid-turn, with 6 cards, I had to cash 3 and did so.

I had 3 remaining, and the computer gave me the option to cash. So I did. Question: that's no right, is it? Slap me if I'm being stupid.

Here's the text, remember I started with 3 cards & got 3 from Kaiber.

[AK_iceman]

thats fine, your not doing anything wrong

[Stopper]

I've been playin the game wrongly then! So if had 7 or 8 cards mid-turn, I could cash 6 as well?

[Darkfire001]

Correct, the same rules as the board game

[Stopper]

Oh cheers mate ... It's so long since I played the board game that I don't remember.

Well that explains my 26-game losing streak.

EDIT: Either that, or I'm shit.

[Israel_Force]

why is thet?

[joeyjordison]

wat you do sometimes get is stupid situations like in an escalating game a player has 4 cards and eliminates and oponent who has 5 cards and can therefore (in theory) cash 3 sets in 1 turn! i know this is unlikely but that isn't a very good way to end a game is it.

[AK_iceman]

because you didnt have 5 cards in the middle of your turn, you only had 4. you received the 5th card at the end of your turn for taking a territory.

[Israel_Force]

LOL, silly me I didn't notice

thanks for the help everybody

[sully800]

Whenever I played the game we would say you had to cash if you had 5 cards (or 6 depending on the group). But once you cash a set, you no longer have 5+ cards so you shouldn't be able to cash another set...but you can here and it just leads to even quicker finishes of escalating games.
