Rules Q&A

• Q: I saw the above ruling and was absolutely shocked. Has my playgroup been playing the game wrong for the past three years!?
  We've routinely played games where we've had both (say) Shinjo Kinto XP1 and Shinjo Kinto XP2 in play for the same player at the same time. Hell, I'm pretty sure this happened in at least one Kotei for one of our guys and no one had a problem with it.
  Are you really only allowed to have *one* copy of a Unique Personality in play, regardless of their experience level?
  A: Yes.
  See the definition of Unique, on p59 of the Comprehensive Rules: Unique: A player will not bring into play or take control of a Unique card if he or she already controls a Unique card with the same title (but see Experienced, p. 49). If a player takes control of a unit with a copy of a Unique attachment he or she already controls, discard the new attachment.
  Title is defined on p10: Card Title: At the top of every card is its title bar. All L5R cards have a title in this bar, except for created cards, which have no title.
  All versions of Shinjo Kinto - Shinjo Kinto non experienced, Shinjo Kinto Experienced and Shinjo Kinto Experienced 2 - have the same title: "Shinjo Kinto". Alex Jones, "Overlay", 24 Apr 2014
