I have a question about out-of-turn master cards. Can they be played in a two player game? I ask because in the Eternal Struggle rule book, it makes it sound like you cannot. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was something to the effect that out-of-turn cards are another methuselahs intereference in a conflict between two other methuselahs, wanted or not. Any help will be appreciated. chris rho...@medicine.wustl.edu rhodesc@medicine

Any help will be appreciated. Technically, according to the rulebook (7.2.1, pg.14), you may play a Master Out-of-Turn whenever appropriate. If it is appropriate to play, say, Frenzy during one of your own Minion's actions, then you are welcome to do so. The has been errata (mis-errata, IMHO) that you may only play Out-of-Turn cards when it is not your turn. That is, you can't Sudden Reversal a Frenzy played on you during your turn, for example. Either way, you may still use Out-of-Turn Masters in a two-player game. L. Scott Johnson

Any help will be appreciated. Yes, out-of-turn masters can be used in a two-player game. The official rules say they cannot be used on your own turn, based on an interpretation of "out-of-turn". Where we play, an "out-of-turn" master can be played anytime it isn't your own master phase. It just doesn't make sense to us that a vampire that entered combat because it blocked an action would give its Methuselah an opportunity to play Minor Boon (for example), while a vampire that entered combat because someone else blocked its action wouldn't give its Methuselah the same opportunity. papillo the pharangytic

Haven't seen the Eternal Struggle book, but essentially Out of turn cards can be played whenever it's NOT your turn, regardless of the number of players. Mike Chris Rhodes (rhodesc@medicine) wrote: : I have a question about out-of-turn master cards. Can they be played [ quoted text not captured ]

I don't remember exactly Well, The Eternal Struggle was written and published by White Wolf, not Wizards of the Coast, so there are some inconsistencies and just plain mistakes....in other words, yes, you can play the out-of-turn master card, you just give up your master phase on your next turn.... ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12
