Had a heated argument with my brother about this.... we collected the game 20 years ago as kids, but recently started playing again. Relearning the rules here...
Vulcan Stone of Gol text says- “place in hand until played as an event card. Kills everyone in an away team without youth OR cunning>7. Discard artifact.”
My interpretation is: when played during a normal turn card play, it immediately kills most of the away team I chose when I play the card.
His interpretation is: it can be played on the table and left there till he wants to exercise the effect to kill an away team. The exercise of the effect could happen at any time, including during the opponents turn.
Who’s right?
This led to a greater argument about the definition of an event in terms of lasting general effects versus Single card effect.
I contend that though an away team is not a single card, the stone of Gol should play immediately on them and is a one shot immediate use.
His contention is that since the card doesn’t say “plays on away team” he can keep it unused on the table to “effect” my broader game choices, thereby achieving a “broader general effect” on the game.
Who’s right?
Thanks,
Dave
