Rules Q&A
- Q: I have a basic Gohei in play. My opponent has Shiryo no Gohei in play. My experienced Gohei shows up in one of my provinces. May I overlay it, or does that violate the uniqueness rules?
You may not overlay it. The rules on Experienced personalities state, "Honor requirements are waived, and no effects are triggered by the card "entering play" or "joining a player" (the card is neither entering play nor joining a player)." You're probably thinking of the second clause, but checking Uniqueness is a restriction, not an effect.
A: Furthermore, Gold Edition spells it out plainly: the Uniqueness rule applies to overlaying. May as well get used to it now. Jeff Alexander, "replies to 12-13 June", 16 Jun 2001
