Draw (number of players) x 1 cards. Put 1 of these cards into each player's hand. Pick up your hand. > It's difficult to write this card in a way that interacts properly with X=X+1.... (My personal preference would be to reword it such that it's not affected by X=X+1 at all; I think this would allow for both simpler wording and better gameplay. But that's another subject.) I agree that it would work better that way, but if I changed it so that it's not affected by X=X+1 then it would be mechanically different. > > Trash a Keeper - If there are any Keepers in play, discard one of them. > > Trash a New Rule - If there are any New Rules in play, discard one of them. > These need to say "choose and discard", for clarity. I'm using the assumption that if a player is discarding a card then that player gets to choose which one (unless it's a "random" card), just as "choose" is missing from the Hand Limits and Keeper Limits. > > _Hand_Limit_ Zero - If it isn't your turn, you cannot have any cards in your hand - discard your hand now. During your turn, you may ignore the Hand Limit, as long as you discard your hand at the end of your turn. > I believe that this is supposed to be worded in such a way that it *is* affected by X=X+1. On the current card it's ambiguous (has this been corrected on v3.1? I don't have it yet), but I'm inclined to resolve the inconsistency in favor of the card title (which uses "0") and by analogy with the other Hand Limit cards. (I've also heard of players who use decks containing both "Hand Limit 0" and "Hand Limit Zero", with precisely this distinction....) I had a very tough time figuring out how Hand Limit 0 and X=X+1 fit together. In my deck I had decided to go with the meaning of "having an empty hand" rather than "having a hand of 0 cards". Hopefully Andy can clarify this for us.
