A couple questions about the game system:
- When a player loses life because of Yuuka, does she draw first or does that player draw first?
- When Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is active and the Spring effect is activated, what happens if the player to the right has no cards left?
- Sakuya's The World states that "the current turn ends immediately". Does that mean that the player targeted by Sakuya cannot defend himself, or does his turn end after he uses a card to avoid or cancel The World? Does the player take his discard step?
- Can Alice choose to discard a Power card when she is hit, activating her Spell Card if she hadn't done it during her turn?
- Players whose turns are skipped are obviously still affected by Incidents like Saigyou Ayakashi, but if such a player finds himself with more cards than his hand maximum before his skipped turn has come, does he have to discard and bring his hand back to normal?
No official response, but I think I can answer most of these questions, too. ^^
? Well, except for the first one. We tend to not really care about who draws first, but I would assume that Yuuka's ability kicks in first. Back when Marisa could still steal cards from your hand, we usually activated her passive first as well, so she wouldn't be able to draw the new card the hurt person just got.
? If a person has no hand cards, then too bad for the person needing to switch with them. You exchange hand cards no matter what, even if the hand is empty.
? Defending yourself is reactionary, and as such, it really does not matter whether you defend yourself during your turn or during someone else's. But the attacked person
can defend themselves. You can even bomb cancel it, canceling Sakuya's effect of ending the turn. [So by that logic, defending yourself should be during your own turn, but again, as far as I know, it doesn't really matter.]
Regarding the discard step, we usually do discard, since it says
end and not skip like with Cirno's Spell Card or Meiling's passive.
? Alice's spell is an Action, so she can only use it during her own turn. If Alice gets hit by a reaction type attack during her own turn, then it doesn't really matter, because Alice holds on to her Power-Ups if she gets hit anyway.
? Fun Fact: Players who skip their turn are actually
not affected by incidents, as they skip the entirety of their turn (even Meiling, since the "start of the turn" happens before the "incident step"). That is one huge strategy behind playing Meiling: Skipping your turn when you might otherwise die to Lily White or Saigyou Ayakashi Blooming late in the game.
Regarding the hand size, we've been playing it that e.g. if Meiling skips her turn and ends up with more cards than her max hand size, she has to discard down after the
next player's turn ends [I don't know which version of the rules you have, but in the latest version, you discard down to your max hand size at any player's end of the turn, not just your own], as Meiling skipped her
own "end of the turn" step. (Remember, the
entire turn is skipped).
Then again, we've been house-ruling some stuff, so if Moogs thinks some of our choices weren't what was intended, he'll probably correct me on what I've been writing here.
But that's how the regulars have been ruling these things.
Hope I could help! ^^
