I don't fully understand the new timing rule, and it seems essential when playing Black Cat in multi-players games, let me ask here.
I want to start with simple example. In 3 players game, turns go ABC. Now A's turn, A gains a Province, which opens a window where Black Cat can be played from B or C. B doesn't have Black Cat at this point, then C grabs the chance to play one of two Black Cats in hand. Both A and B gain a Curse, which allows B to play a Sheepdog. The dog brings a Black Cat to B's hand.
OK now both B and C have Black Cat in their hands. Who may play first, and what follows?
According to my understanding of the rule, B first. C may not continue to play another until B plays or declares B won't. If B skips, C decides whether play or not. Then if C plays, B here again gets chance to play one, but if C skips, B doesn't get any chance to play.
