Conquer Club

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?

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.

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...

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.

thats fine, your not doing anything wrong

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

Correct, the same rules as the board game

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.

I eliminate a player and I get 5 cards
and I didn't had the option to cash in the middle of the turn.

why is thet?

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.

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.

LOL, silly me I didn't notice

thanks for the help everybody

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.
