Related, but not a dupe: Exploding kittens. How many turns can an attack card "really" skip?
That questions discusses this scenario:
- Player A plays Attack.
- Player B takes a turn, draws an Attack and plays it.
- Player C has to take three turns.
That is clear. But in this scenario:
- Player A plays Attack.
- Player B plays some other cards (Favour, See the Future or whatever).
- Player B plays Attack (so does not draw a card).
Does Player C now have to take four turns or three? Or should Player B have played the Attack as his first card?
An argument for Player C taking four turns is that Player B could have done exactly the same thing whilst not being under the influence of Player A’s Attack and force Player C to take two turns, so they are just stacking those two into the two from the first Attack. However, I felt that by playing cards, Player B was essentially taking a turn which should be completed by drawing a card. He could then play the Attack as his second go and force Player C to take three turns.
