They forgot one important rule. If you have no drinks during your drink phase, you lose one alcohol content

[ogladaczr.t.]

Most importantly, you forgot the every necessary evasion of Gerki's perversion

What a great video mate, so clear. 6/5

Do you have to discard at least 1 card to be able to draw back up to 7?

I’m thinking you draw up to 7 at the start of the turn regardless of how many you discard (after the optional discard of course).

Half of my gaming group is saying that you must discard at least 1 card to be able to get back up to a full hand because the rule about drawing is written “you may discard and then draw” in the same sentence. Their version of the ruling seems weird especially since you’d get stuck if you got down to 0 cards.

Can I get some clarification on here? I’m pretty sure I’m right, but I need confirmation for them to agree

I'm busy collecting all the characters for this game.

The only thing I’m still confused about is gold. Do you get kicked out AS SOON as your gold hits 0? Or do you hang on until you’re forced to pay and don’t have any money?

For example, my character is at one gold. Someone plays tip the wench on me and forces me to pay 1. Am I now out? Or am I still in because I technically paid?

I have 3 questions.

If a card gives a player 2 free drinks from the drink me deck, does that mean the player drinks both cards on thatt same turn? Or do those pile onto the drink me pile? If that makes sense? (We just bought this game. 3 to be exact.

Next question.
What does "add/subtract *number* to any numeric effect mean" that's throwing me off. Does that mean for the fortitude and alcohol content?
It's from wizgilles gear deck. Same with a few others I believe.

Please tell me someone has made actual cocktail recipes for this game! I want to do this as a drinking game!

[NeosparkJ]

So if you reveal a chaser and you have no cards left in the drink me pile, resolve the effect with that number or ignore it?

What happens if i have 18 fortitude and 17 alcol and a player uses "Your opponent takes 2 fortitude damage" and i play 2 "Reduce you alcol by 1"?

What happens if you run out of cards in your character's deck?

[mathieulefebvre]

At what point do you draw back cards? At the beginning of your turn or after your turn ends?

My friend just got the latest expansion

I really feel like this game should have been named something else. "The Red Dragon Inn" was famously the name of the role-playing chat room on America Online in the early 1990s. It's pretty iconic in RPG history.

This game makes no fucking sense in the rules
