Title: Multiplayer games and Knight trashing decisions
Post by: jaybeez on December 10, 2013, 02:56:32 pm
In an multiplayer IRL game a couple days ago, we were playing with Knights.  One of the other players played a Knight; one of the players to my right revealed a Knight and a Silver, while I revealed a Knight and an Estate.

That player to my right chose to trash his Silver, mainly because he knew that I would have to trash my Knight when it was my turn to trash, thus the played Knight would be trashed and he wouldn't have to trash his own Knight to make that happen.

My question is just whether this is correct.  I'm pretty sure it is, because although when a Knight is played everyone trashes in order, everyone reveals the top two cards of their deck simultaneously and revealed cards are public information.  Right?  But the Dark Ages rules don't specifically say this.

You did it wrong. If the order of things matters (as it does in this case), players should individually reveal their cards.

edit: From the rulebook for Spy: "If players care about the order in which things happen for this, you do yourself first, then each other player in turn order."

I think you're supposed to do each one individually.  I don't think it's this:

(Each other player reveals the top 2 cards of his deck), and (trashes one of them costing from $3 to $6), and (discards the rest). If a Knight is trashed by this, trash this card.
