Hi there, First of all: Yes, an updated FAQ is in the works. The way it happens is this: I compile questions as they come in and get answered. When a question is either clearly going to be a problem (due to the language of the rules, an oversight on our part, or anything like that), it goes on the list automatically. When a question gets asked often enough (roughly three or more times), it also goes into the FAQ. I've got a few new questions just about ready to go in now. Notice, though, that Lunch Money is a very house rule-friendly game, so the FAQs may get multiple answers, just like the existing questions have. Now, as for the issue of attacks versus card plays: The Sticks & Stones rules sheet defines an attack in the "terminology" section. It says: Attack: An attack occurs when a player uses a Basic Attack card, Weapon card, or Specialty card on another player in a direct attempt to cause counter loss. Some cards allow multiple attacks. That last sentence is important. Compare that to the definition of an Action, and you've got the difference between an attack and a "card play." Playing multiple FIRST AIDs is a single action. BACKLAS(H/K) reverses all the attacks from a single card or a combo, which is not the same as reversing a single attack. BACKLAS(H/K) is a great answer to TANTRUM because of this. It's all there in the rules sheet. Since this is a question that has come up a fair bit since the game's release, it will also be in the FAQ. So, post your questions here send them to me at will@atlas-games.com if you want them included in the FAQ. Thanks much! word, Will Atlas
