In a game of Exploding Kittens, what happens when a chain of attack cards is terminated by a Nope card?
For example;
What happens exactly?
Player D nopes the attack card of player C. So it is still player C's turn and he/she has to resolve the double attack.
Nope cards aren't played on your own turn.
You can play a Nope card at any time before an action has begun, even if it’s not your turn
You play them as a reaction to the card whose effect you want to nullify before it takes effect.
Stop any action except for an Exploding Kitten or a Defuse card.
The scenario:
Because the Attack card had no effect, it's still Player C's turn. In fact, Player C has three other turns after this one (because of Player A's and Player B's attacks).
Note the original ("nerfed version" of the) rules did not have chained Attacks carry forth extra turns, so C would only have one extra turn rather than three.
The scenario:
Player A plays an Attack card. The Attack cards takes effect (ending their turn, meaning they don’t have to draw card from pile, and giving Player B two turns). Player B plays an Attack card, as the first of their two turns, ending that turn without having to draw a card. Their remaining turns, which would be one, plus two turns, pass to Player C. Player C now has to take 3 turns. Player C plays an Attack card, as the first of their 3 turns, which immediately ends that turn, meaning they don’t draw a card, and passes their remaining 2 turns, plus two new turns, to Player D.
Player D plays a Nope card. The Nope card takes effect (canceling the Attack card which Player C played for the first of their 3 turns. Player C now has to play 2 more turns.
