guillotine question
Greg Wong
One question
we had was this...
The Master Spy card says that he moves to the end of the line after each
action card
is played. Let's say that Master Spy is 3rd in line and someone plays
an action
card that moves the Master Spy to the head of the line. Does the player
get to
pick up the Master Spy? Or, having played the action card to move the
Master
Spy to the head of the line, the Master Spy moves back to the end of the
line?
Thanks.

card are worked out and before and nobles are collected. Thus, unless the
Spy is collected before any action cards are played in a given day, he will
always be the last noble collected on that day.

I don't know the official ruling, but you can see how we play this and
another thorny card at http://www.io.com/~sos/bc/guill.html

We always play that the Master Spy moves to the end of the line after the
function of the action card is executed. Otherwise the Master Spy's power
makes no sense -- he's supposed to be elusive.

We played our first games of this last night when friends came over. We
interpreted the rules for the Callous Guards and the Master Spy as you did. I
wonder if that means we're doing something right...

I learned to play this game at the Wizards' Booth at Origins this year,
right after it was first released. They made the spy rule very clear: If
an action card moves the spy to the front of the line, he goes there for a
split second, but then he moves to the end of the line before he can be
collected. the same thing happens if you play the card that reverses the
line order. the spy (who was at the back, and now is at the front), will
move to the new end of the line before he can be collected.
Note that this ONLY applies to ACTION cards. Sometimes when you collect a
certain noble, it can alter the order of the line. This does NOT activate
the spy's special power.
