Possession+Ball
werothegreat:
Okay, just to check I have this right (starting a new topic because the old one is locked):
-If I Possess someone and make them take their - token (usually by making them buy Ball), I get the token instead. Say if they're green and I'm yellow, I take their green token. This much I understand.
-Following on that, if I buy Ball the turn I play Possession, that should mean that after Possessing the green player and making them buy Ball, I should have two - tokens - my yellow one, and their green one. This seems pretty obvious.
-Then when green takes their unPossessed turn, they can buy Ball without taking a - token because I currently have theirs, and they couldn't take mine (or anyone else's) even if it were available.
-However, here we come to a tricky bit: let's say I (yellow) play a single Copper on my next turn, producing , triggering the - tokens. Do they activate one at a time? Do I choose which one? My guess would be they both trigger, and you end up losing , but there is no stipulation on the token saying you can't go below , so does that leave you with - to spend? What would that even mean?
-Let's say I've managed to lose the green token. Now green player buys their own Ball. Do they take that green - token again? Or have my Possession shenanigans prevented them from ever having to take it again this game?

If Green buys Ball, they take their token from Yellow.

If Yellow plays a Copper or Silver, Yellow goes down to $0 and returns both tokens. If Yellow plays a Gold, Yellow goes down to $1 and returns both tokens, etc.
It should be no surprise that if a rule for "what if you go below $0" were ever needed, the answer would be, you stop at $0.

Green can still take their token.

Wait, is this part correct? I'm not seeing why. Ball says "Take your - token". What rules prevent you from taking your token in the case that someone else currently has your token?
*Edit* If I read it right, Donald says in the other thread that you can indeed take a token from someone else who already has it.

Okay. Will update the wiki accordingly.

Tokens don't lose track?
