3 & 4 Player Questions

[cbs42]

Pretty soon I'm going to hook up a 4-player version of the game, but I want to get some clarification on a couple of points in advance:

1) Does the "first turn" penalty apply only to the first PLAYER in a 4-player game, or does it apply to both players of the TEAM that goes first?

2) Can you summon units using your teammate's walls?

3) Can teammates freely show each other their hands?

4) If I use Kaeseeall (see below) to gain control of an opponent's unit, then I kill that opponent's summoner on the same turn, what happens to the controlled unit? The rules say that the losing player must discard all of his cards in play, but at the time he loses, the controlled creature ISN'T his unit. It's mine.

1) First turn penalty only applies to the player that takes the first turn

2) you can only summon units to walls that you control, so you can't summon to a teammate's wall.

3) When we play we show each other our hands freely. There is no rule against it, though if you prefer you could always house rule it.

4) Discard the taken over unit once control returns to a player that is out of the game. (Good question, hadn't thought of it.)

Thanks for the quick answers!
I like your ruling on Question 4.

Ok I have a question.....

If I am playing in the 3 person spot (for example) can I place my wall in the furthest collumn to the right and then summon to the furthest collumn on the left? I know I can move and attack that way but can I summoner there also?

Yes you can summon there.

When you kill the first Summoner in a 3- or 4-player game, do you add the Summoner to the active player's Magic Pile and then discard all the rest of the defeated Summoner's cards?

(great game, btw!)
