In the Camelot edition, if a player takes a trick with the Holy Grail and the Excalibur it is void. If that player then makes their bid, can they score the extra 20 points for the Holy Grail? Some have argued that you still get the extra 20 points when you make your bid even though the trick is null and void. What is the ruling on this situation?
Interesting Camelot question! It hinges on whether "making your bid" is separate from the trick itself. It seems unfair to reward points for a voided
trick.
That's a tricky Camelot rules question! My gut feeling is that no, you shouldn't get the extra 20 points for the Holy Grail in that situation. Since
the trick is void, it's like it never happened.
This is a really interesting and specific ruling question for the Camelot edition! I can see why there's debate – the "void" aspect throws a wrench
into the usual scoring. My initial thought is that if the trick is void, it's as if it never happened for scoring purposes, including the Holy Grail
bonus.
