Title: Scoring and Saladin
Post by: ipofanes on October 29, 2014, 05:52:01 am
My opponent invoked Coal with Colonialism directly underneath, then Saladin.

He decided to score Coal and Colonialism, but Saladin's karma kicked in upon scoring the second, making him meld the card instead. We both were baffled by this interpretation of the rules, as I would treat "score", like "draw" and "meld" (and unlike "draw and meld"), atomic. What's your take on this?

Saladin says "if you would score". So Saladin's karma has to kick in before the card is scored; it shouldn't affect Colonialism in this situation, since Saladin isn't visible before Colonialism is scored.
