Gambit Accepted [lsj]
Chris Shorb
Gambit Accepted [Anarchs:R]
Cardtype:
Master
Master.
Only usable if you have at least 1 victory point. Lose 1 victory point
and put this card in play. During your untap phase, move 1 pool from
your prey's pool to your pool. If you are ousted, your predator gains an
additional victory point. At the end of the game, if you have not been
ousted, you gain an additional victory point.
I assume if a tournament game times out, and you are still alive, you
gain 1.5 VP's? Just to clarify for myself.
Thanks,
chris

Correct.
Note however that you do not get the Gambit Accepted VP back if you
successfully withdraw (since the card leaves play at that time).

Correct.
Correct. It would probably be better to award the predator the
gambit VP on your withdrawal, to maintain the zero-sumness of
the game. I'll put it on the RT list, but given the prevalence of
withdrawing (and the chances of wanting to do so after playing
Gambit Accepted), it may not rise to the errata level.

It seems more sensible to me to make you get the VP back if you
withdraw. Withdrawing is pretty darn hard anyway and you still
wouldn't want to do it anyway (probably) (given a position where you
can pass a tur without losing blood/pool and are getting a pool from
your prey each turn!). Your predator most certainly doesn't deserve a
VP for letting you leave play either.
Just my oh so humble opinion.

If you want a VP for withdrawing, you shouldn't play Gambit Accepted.
It's your risk; your predator didn't foist it on you.
It seems more reasonable to give your predator the VP if she forces
you to withdraw after you voluntarily take the gambit.

Well that's one way to make withdrawing easier I suppose...
