How does Trap works? When can i use press to end the combat? Only after 3 rounds?

During the press step, if any Methuselah has played a card earlier in the current round or during the two previous rounds, the Trap automatically provides a press to continue (either combatant can press to end). >When can i use press to end the combat? Only after 3 rounds? You can use a press to end (from whatever source) whichever round you want (during the press phase). The Trap provides presses to continue, which either player can cancel. -- James Coupe Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks, PGP 0x5D623D5D And the rich folks hate the poor folks.

Please adjust this text, it is quite unintelligible as written.

This is for later rounds. >this seems very contradictory. (Assuming only Trap.) First round: Has a card been played in the current round? Yes. Second round: Has a card been played in the current round? No. Has it been played in the previous two rounds? It was played last round, so Yes. Third round: Has a card been played in the current round? No. Has a card been played in the previous two rounds? It was played two rounds ago, so Yes. Since first round will always have a card played (thus fulfilling the first option) and the third round will always have two preceding rounds, it is only in the second round that there can b slight confusion, really.

It is not contradictory. It merely doesn't apply, since there are no previous rounds at the first round. > if Trap is the only card played in a round, does the press happen? according > to card text, i am not sure. Yes. See "current round" in card text. > Please adjust this text, it is quite unintelligible as written.
