Tried our first game last night and, probably as a result of over-analysing the cards, generated a few questions:
Can a Victim “out on the town†be moved to a location card 'in play' by a Player, other than when a location card specifically requires that movement, such as “Dark Alley†or “Ice Cream Truck�
After the initial placement of the location card “Dark Alley†and a Victim from “out on the townâ€, are replacement Victims placed at the “Dark Alley†location card from those Victims already in the general play area, i.e., “out on the townâ€, or only with Victims drawn from the Victim deck in Step 1 of the sequence of play?
Does the tern “funness†used in several EVENT and SURPRISE cards mean the same as Victim Point Value?
No, at least as the rules are written. If everybody at the table thinks it's a good idea, though, knock yourself out.
Nope (again, according to the rules as written). A Victim is "played" when it comes off of the Victims deck at the beginning of someone's turn, so Pretentious Victims wouldn't end up in the Cafe until then.
The latter. Incidentally, other players can avoid feeding Victims to the Dark Alley if there is another Location on which to play them.
Yes. It does mention that in the rules, but to be fair it does it in the red scrawl, which also tells you to play the game on a high-voltage induction grid, so you never know. Sorry about that.
As a bit of trivia, the funness thing comes from the original edition of the game, which had rules that were far more psychotic than than the current edition's.
Aaron, thx for taking the time to reply. Don't know how much play time the game will get with the group I'm in, as their pretty much Eurotrash gamers, but I'm hoping for more, as the expansion will be in my hands by Wednesday. I'll be taking it to Atlanta Game Fest 13 on 19 Jan.
