No. Everyone can use that card as a wild card. It only kills your hand if you have a matching card in your hand. I.E. the last card is a 2 of hearts. It is wild for everyone. If you already have a 2 in your hand, it kills your hand. Hope that clears up the poker question. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: S Mattison [mailto:s.mattison@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 11:31 AM To: rwinans@xxxxxxxxxxx; Fluxx Discussion List Subject: Re: [Fluxx] Larry the Creeper Wait, what? So, the card is wild, but you can't USE it as a wildcard? All you have is an Ace High? The only way to win with that card is if everyone else has nothing and nobody has an ace? That's so strange! Poor Thom.
