I had a disagreement with some of my friends yesterday about the meaning of the Wedding card. It was the first time we played Cities and Knights, although we are all seasoned players of Settlers. Anyway, the Wedding card appeared in the game, and my friends interpreted the victory points mentioned on it as being victory point cards, since they are labelled "Victory Point" (so that, anyone who had more victory point cards played than the player who used the Wedding card had to give away two cards, regardless of the total number of points he had). To me, it seems obvious that the card refers to the total number of points a player has, including points from settlements, cities, longest road, etc., but I can't find anywhere a rule or a discussion that clarifies the matter. So, please, express your opinion.

It's fun, it's healthy, it's good exercise. The kids will just love it. And we put a little sand inside to make the experience more pleasant.

You know, they say there was a man who jumped from the forty-FIFTH floor? But that's another story...

As already stated, it is the total number of victory points that matter. Your friends just were trying to get away with something.

Do your friends know the difference between "victory point" and "victory point card"? Wedding doesn't say "victory point card"...

I guess your friends would park their trucks on spaces marked with "No parking" as these places "clearly" must address cars, not trucks... shake

I've got a friend that tries to pull crap like that every now and then. I usually respond by flicking one of his knight pieces off the board.
