The next logical step of your argument would be that every time the numeral 1 appears, the next word should have "-(s)" appended because of Inflation. After all, "Play 2 card per turn" is the strict interpretation of the effect of Inflation on Play 1.

While I agree with the specific interpretation of the card's intent in this case, I do not agree with the advice to "not worry about the strict wording". The idea ought to be that what's written on the cards is all you need to know. The "Draw 3, play 2 of them" text is broken when "One, Two, Five!" is in effect, and something more should be done about it than shrugging and saying "Well, you know what it means." If (when?) I get a deck with "One, Two, Five!" in it, I'll be marking up the "Draw 3, play 2 of them" card to end with something like "...discard what you did not play." _______________________________________________ Fluxx mailing list Fluxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/fluxx
