My sister in law got the card game GUILLOTINE for christmas and we ran into a rule question while playing. There is a noble called the "Master Spy" and the fine print on the card indicates that the Master Spy slips to the back of the line after any action card is played (he's a crafty dude!). The debate was if he was say at the back of the line and you played a card like "The long walk" (which reverses the order of the line) do you get to collect the master spy? My thought is that you play the card (long walk), you resolve the card (reverse the order of the queue), then the master spy goes to the back end of the queue, then you collect your noble (and thus the master spy escapes) but she felt that you play the card (long walk), master spy goes to the back of the queue, you resolve the card (reverse the order of the queue), then collect your noble (and thus the master spy is executed).
Basically, the argument is whether the print saying "Master spy goes to the back of the line after any action card is played" means that the second the card is put on the table he moves, or if the card is put on the table and resolved and then he moves. I favor my way because it makes it harder to get the spy (which I think is what was intended) but the only way to get him is if he is the very last noble of the day. She favors her way because you can be cunning and get him before the end of the day. Anyone play this game or have an opinion? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
