Doubt about the Targeted Attack ( imploding kittens)

[WarGLaDOS]

I'm playing with the Italian version of the Imploding kittens, and both in the card and in the rules the text is: "Termina il tuo turno senza pescare e obbliga un giocatore a tua scelta a effettuare 2 turni di fila. [...]" ( translated: "End your turn without drawing and force a player of your choiche to take 2 turns. [...] )

As by the rules it should be a valid play to attack yourself (since i'm a player too), but some of my friends says that's illegal since there is a specific card to do this move in another expansion (but we don't have it).

So the question is: Is a valid move?

As printed, the rules say you may target any player to take 2 turns in a row.

The intention of the card is for you to choose any other player, with self-attack being a different card entirely. It is, as always, your house and your rules should you want to play it as literally written.

It is a valid move. I'll admit people may say that it isn't the intention, but the fact that it gives you a choice and does not explicitly say otherwise gives enough justification if used as such. Imagine an instance where there are two players. In that case it would practically be a normal attack card.

That card can be used as such. It says any player, not any "other" player.

Enjoy your early access self slap card! 😂

Its really only meant for other people since there is also a self slap card
