cashing in cards

[robindreaux]

As in Risk, can in CC when one takes out an opponent and obtains their cards can one cash those cards immediately provided there is a match?

I know this may seem like a dumb question, but I am brand new to CC, in fact right now in my first game.

Anyone please respond.

If your newly acquired cards put you over the 5 limit max, then you can cash until you get below 5, or cash in as many sets as you have created.

There are no wild cards. You cannot accumulate more than 5 cards, therefore there may be a mid-turn cashing in of sets after eliminating an opponent.

I think there is a flaw with the game play in that respect though. According to the rules of risk, when you have 5 cards or more you can cash a set. But you shouldn't be able to cash another unless you still have over 5 cards.

Usually when people have 7 cards they get to cash two sets at once but I don't think that should be allowed. I just never brought it up before because I think it benefits my playing style to keep it the way it is

It's been brought up before in the suggestions area. Go talk about it there.

Edit: Under 1999 Rule Set. We currently use the 1975.

I figured it had been brought up, just never saw it (and didn't search ). But like I said, I don't really care either way. I just never new about the different rule sets. As long as everyone is clear what the rules are on here I think its fine.
