OK, well, I played my first full game of Jyhad tonight, and really enjoyed
it. I lost, but I liked it.
We've had some things come up that we weren't able to puzzle out on our
own...maybe we're just being dense.
First, when, exactly do you tap a minion? Most cases are obvious, but if you
play an "augment action" (I think they're called) card, does that tap you?
Same for if you play a "reacion" card. We had the same question for voting,
due to the FAQ, but I see that has been answered.
We are a little unclear as to the difference between augmented action and
reaction cards, and which can be played on what when.
What, exactly, CAN a tapped vampire do? Obviously, they can vote. Can they
play vote cards, to add more votes? Is there anything else they can do?
Can two generation 1 vampires work together to rescue a vampire from Torpor?
I'm sure there were more, but its 4 AM so they'll have to wait.
Great game, by the way, if I forgot to mention it.
Ah...which Methusela gets first chance to call for a vote for a blood hunt?
And can they then play cards relating to "votes you proposed"?
And how are we supposed to determine seating, anyway?

Declaring an action taps the acting minion. Simply using a reaction card
doesn't tap the minion unless the card says so, but successfully blocking
will lead to the blocking minion becoming tapped. Vampires don't tap
when they vote. Basically, minions only tap when they act or enter combat.

About all they can do is vote and use cards that say "usable by a
tapped vampire" :) Note that when you burn a political card for a vote,
it is the player burning the card and not a vampire. Thus it can be done
even if you have no ready vampires.

Sadly, no.

Because you can't use action modifiers or reaction cards during a
bloodhunt vote, I can't think when it would ever matter. I suppose
that you would count clockwise from the acting player if it might matter.

Randomly. I like the house rule that whoever goes first picks
the seating order, though.

We roll a die, high roll goes last, low goes first.

We flash the last card on the bottom of the deck, and the one with the
hightest casting cost goes first.
It seems to work well, the second game and so on, the first person to
die goes first.
