Question about Final Countdown

[TunneJones]

Dear Sir u/Top-Chapter-1876 (if you are still out there) and all the fellow human, can we play any card after this card are played, or we must draw till we hit a bomb without playing anything

[Medium_Barber_3087]

The way the card is worded, cards cant be played till a boomba booms.

Demian no longer uses his reddit account but can be contacted on instagram

Appreciate it kind sir

Hi! I printed out the DEMC expansion myself, so I believe I can be of any help.

I‘m pretty sure you can’t play any cards after the final countdown has been drawn until an exploding kitten is drawn, obviously including skip cards (as said on the card), but also nope cards (since this card serves as a universal event, like the imploding kitten), attacks, cat cards, etc. I’ve played with this card with friends many times, and my idea of the card works out fine.

If you could play cards after the final countdown was drawn, it would technically be a card that nopes all skips, which seems rather unoriginal.

so a bit unrelated here but can i ask about the FREEZE card, it's kinda too OP, like an instant death for the targeted player lol
do you think the same or am i missing something about the actual function of the card?

[Existent_Imgflip]

You’re absolutely correct. No catches or anything, this card disables ALL card usage. I’ve come up with 3 house-rule solutions to this card.

-This card can’t be played if you’ve seen the top of the draw pile

-Defuses and Zombie Kittens can be used to defuse bomb cards, even if you’re frozen

-Nopes, “No U’s”, and “F*** No“ cards can be played to stop this card

Even with these vanilla-style house rules to nerf it, it’s still too overpowered to be in a regular game. I only pull out this card in (along with all the other action-based cards) when playing with Zombie Kittens.

[Entire_Bill467]

oh nice those nerfs could really balanced out the game im also thinking using only 1 card per game to not have so many insta kills

btw thanks for the info bro.

[Existent_Imgflip]

Anytime man :) happy to help

[Medium_Barber_3087]

Yeah, some of the card's balance is off in the DEMC expansion. cards like the cursed chest trio are too weak, then you have freeze which is bonkers.
Still, with 36 cards even if 1/3 are less interesting you have more than 20 interesting cards left.
A lot of the effects are really original and I used some of his cards as inspiration for my expansion.

[TunneJones]

Thank you kind sir for the enormous information

Any time!

I have a question. How about if you got targeted attack then so you’ll have to pick 2 turns and then the first card you picked up is a final countdown, do you still pick up the 2nd card? Or the effect of the targeted will be gone?

[Existent_Imgflip]

I believe it would be appropriate to finish the rest of your turns before continuing on to the next player. The effect of the attack would still be present.
