We do have an dispute about this matter in the German forums section and would like to have it clarified even before Spiel at Essen - if possible ... |
OK, I'll give you a best answer I can for now.
Zitat: |
Q: If I have played a card with a STOP symbol, and you react to it, and its my turn again, and I play BounceBack or KhindKin: will this activate the STOP symbol again or not?
A1: Yes, because the special text keeps the whole card with the STOP symbol active (except "now" special texts, element change, Yin and Yang texts), so the STOP symbol acts again.
A2: No, because the STOP symbol is defined in the rules as " Playing a card with a STOP icon prevents you from playing any further cards during your turn." - and as I do not play the card with the STOP symbol again, the STOP symbol is not valid any more. |
I go with A2, and basically because of its argument. But taking it step by step, let's start with KhindKin "I may play this card into my combat area without pushing the previously active cards under it.". That's it. It keeps the card active, which as noted keeps relevant texts active. But STOP isn't defined as "staying active", it's defined in terms of when played, as A2 notes. Now lets consider Bounce Back. Of course as we all know Bounce Back generally behaves like KhindKin, but let's treat it separately. "My active cards attack again.". "Attack" isn't actually quite defined by the rules, but is used in the Zero power rule under Announce power on page 8 of the rulebook. It clearly relates to just the announcement of power, it doesn't equate to re-playing the previous cards. (Note that this is consistent with the Bounce Back/Baku But Q&A.) So STOP doesn't apply. Note incidentally that if it did, it would be because the card was played again, in which case also its special power text would apply again, which no one has suggested (I'm slightly surprised no one has asked the question, but there answers which imply it). So it's A2 again. Of course Bounce Back has STOP which makes the question somewhat academic in that case.
