Hi all,

Any thoughts on this?

"The Might of Highgarden (Consolidate Power) Tyrell Only
Discard a House Card from your hand to immediately steal its Combat Strength
in Power tokens from any combination of adjacent players..."

First Question:

Does the phrase "steal its Combat Strength in Power Tokens from any combination of adjacent players" mean:

1) If Combat Strength = X, look at each adjacent player and choose whether or not to steal X power tokens from them, then move onto the next one?

OR...

2) If Combat Strength = X, look at all adjacent players, choose one of them, steal 1 power token from them, and repeat this process until you have stolen a total of X Power?

Second Question:

When resolving this OTO, can Tyrell...

1) Discard a House Card with Combat Strength zero?

2) Discard a House Card with higher combat strength than the number of tokens that adjacent players have available?

3) Choose to steal fewer power tokens than the Combat Strength of the discarded card?

4) Discard its last House Card from its hand and cycle its hand?

What do you think?

Hello,

First Question:

Doesn't matter imho. The game won't continue until the order is resolved. I would say any player at least has to admit if X tokens could be stolen from him (we keep the tokens in cups semi- invisible) if asked by Tyrell, so that in any case Tyrell can gain the full X tokens if wished. I think there should be no possibility of losing or misplaying the advantage of the order. How to procede is imho players choice.

Second Question:

Imho "yes" to all if those actions seem to make sense for Tyrell. Maybe Baratheon has two tokens left, Lannister is also adjacent, Tyrell plays his/her last card "Mace Tyrell" -power 3- and lets Baratheon bleed, takes both tokens but grants Lannister mercy ... Why not?

Best Regards.

First Question:

Option 1 - You steal a total of X power, not X times number of adjacent players. Yes, this makes this kinda sucky.

Second Question:

1. Yes. Also the -1, if playing with the base game cards. You'll steal no power in both these cases, of course.

2. Yes. You'll steal what you can. (This one isn't backed by the rules, but you discard before stealing, so logic says the effect is carried out to the maximum extent possible).

3. No. You get no choice on the matter in the text of the order, so you can't choose to steal less.

4. Yes.
