Hi,
Know I'm flooding the message board the last few days, and I do apologize for that, but I'm gearing up for a week vacation with some of my old buds and we are going to be playing some games. I'm the 'rulemaster' of bunnies and therefore would like to be as prepared as possible. Thanks for any insights as usual.
Kubrickian Glee reads from the companion guide:
"Kubrickian Glee (Ω15, 1074 [Deck= Fantastic]; Run; Aggressive)
Kubrickian Glee may be used once by a player and given to any
opponent who must kill at least one bunny before he may choose a
Carrot."
I've gathered that this is a card that simply 'stays in play', like Bad Karma, until it can be removed.
My exact question though is what is meant by 'before he can choose a carrot'. Is that referring specifically to the 'Choose a carrot' card(s) in the game? Or does it also encompass such things as...
1) Buying a carrot from the market
2) Winning a carrot in carrot top casino, supplies surprise, bakery, etc.
3) Receiving a carrot from something like Carrot Thief
4) Receiving a carrot from something like Poverty Poker
5) How about something like B-Flat?
6) How about like Carrot Exchange?
I bring this up because there is language on some of these, like B-Flat that say "may choose a carrot". That seems like it would apply. - that is, the person shouldn't be able to get the carrot from B-Flat. But if this is true, then can the player still participate, win, and then just 'not get the carrot' - but prevent someone else from getting it?
How about something like say, Supplies Surprise, which in the Companion says "TAKE", not choose. That's something probably pedantic that means the same thing and perhaps it's just non-precise wording between the two that mean the same thing?
But something like Poverty Poker, for instance, doesn't actually have the player CHOOSE anything - they win the pot. So in that way can he 'receive' a carrot, even though he may still have Kubrickian Glee in front of him?
How about if the player plays Carrot Exchange? The player is the one that gets to "choose all three carrots in the exchange" - is this constituted as 'choosing'?
I think a good example of perhaps the most gray area is Carrot Thief - in that situation you are NOT CHOOSING the carrot - it is chosen for you by the roll of your die. There's probably a couple others in this category but that most readily comes to mind.
To sum it up - is it just missing the words "...before he may use any CHOOSE A CARROT CARD - or is it a literal interpretation of the word 'Choose' - as in the player has to make the active choice on which carrot to receive? Or is it just anytime a player would RECEIVE a carrot he can no longer receive it? If it's the latter, how would Poverty Poker actually play out (or similar card)?
Thanks.
