Notes on Die Kutschfahrt zur Teufelsburg

Darn, I lost the instruction book and the only way I can find the rules (for the classic version, not the translated and modified Castle of the Devil) online, apparently, is by translating the Portuguese translation on their website back into English.

Random corner cases so I do not have to do this again:
  • A Secret Bag cannot be traded for a Secret Bag. (But I knew that already)
  • The person who declares victory needs at least one of the keys or goblets that his association wins with. (I have a feeling our group is just going to ignore this)
  • All players who the person names in declaring victory need at least one of the keys or goblets as well. (Ditto)
  • The card limit is 8 cards for 3 players, 6 cards for 4 players, 5 cards for more. When somebody has more cards than the limit (not equal), he must give a card to a player whose cards haven't reached the limit. (This is an amendment on the official website because otherwise two players could swap all their cards.)
  • If the Diplomat succeeds in forcing a trade, he can still have his normal turn action. If he fails, his turn ends. This trade does activate special abilities of objects.
  • The Doctor must be the attacker or defender to use his ability.
  • The Priest must not be the attacker or defender to use his ability. (Possible glitch of translation because it says "did not must")
  • The Hypnotist has to use his ability after declarations and before special objects.
