Theoretically I suppose you wouldn't have to lay down a card, but that would be equivalent to saying "bubba is attempting to equip nothing, anyone want to block?", which is kind of silly really. A similar sit. that would make more sense is using legal manipulations as an action while saying "my minion is doing this action, anyone blocking?" a big no no. >5.

This is kind of ambiguous b/c having an action cancelled does not necessarily mean that you would get that card back(just assumed that way I believe) later.

Howdy, Our gaming group has gone crazy over Jyhad, and so as usually happens when you have computer scientists, and engineers gathering and reading rules, we have come to contention on a couple of things. Any help on resolving these questions, and perhaps avoiding bloodshed would be most gratefully appriciated. 1. Can Sudden Reversal be used on an existing master card? Ex. 1. You have Sudden Reversal, you have a Long Term Investment, you end your turn after taking 5 blood off of the Long Term Investment, then after it is your preys turn, you play sudden reversal on LTI and get the 3 blood back for a total of 8 blood returned from the LTI. Ex. 2. You have an opponent with Aching Beauty, and when they play that card you don't have a SR card. Then a couple of hands later you get a SR card, can you then negate the Aching Beauty (or any other master card such as locations or skills or whatnot) 2. If you use a weapon's manuver, do you have to use the weapon's strike? 3. The vote card that has 2 players change seats, does this also have the two players change decks, or do all vampires and library cards get moved as well? 4. When you equip a minion, do you have to say what you are equiping before someone decides to intercept? I.e. "I am equiping Bubba with a Sawed off Shotgun, does anyone want to intercept?" vs. "I am equiping Bubba, does anyone want to intercept?" 5. If a vote is intercepted, what happens to the vote card, is it burned or does it never come out? And do you have to declare what the vote is going to be? and lastly Thanks for any and all help that you can offer. -Joel

The vote card that has 2 players change seats, >does this also have the two players change decks, >or do all vampires and library cards get moved as well? They retain their vampires, libraries, etc. Just the seating order changes. >4. When you equip a minion, do you have to say >what you are equiping before someone decides to intercept?... Yes. Ditto for recruiting allies or retainers. >5. If a vote is intercepted, what happens to the >vote card, is it burned or does it never come out? >And do you have to declare what the vote is going to be? The political card is played as the action begins. Everyone knows which political card is being played, but if the vote would require any choices, those aren't made until the vote actually begins (i.e. after blocking). If the action is blocked, then the action card is lost. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aa...@cats.ucsc.edu Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
