Hi everybody,
I'm sorry if this is already asked but I didn't find this anywhere (and the search tool just found tournaments instead of rules)
Let's supose we have a player wherever it's needed with his ball.
Then let's suppose 2 situations
1. Opponent Bomber makes an accurate or inacurate throw which ends in the same square as this player. Can the player catch this bomb even though he already has the ball in his hands?
There is nothing in the rules that states that you can't do it, so far I've played as if it's possible but from a "realistic" point of view that player should be good at jugling to do this (or that player should have a pair of extra arms)
2. We have that funny card which makes the ball "birth" another ball so we are playing with 2 balls on the pitch. Can that player carry both balls?
(it really is the same case as before but just to be clear)
3.Combo question...
Let's suppose our player has 2 balls in his hands as per 2 and we throw a bomb as per 1... should I suppose that player has some awesome juggling skills which are not represented on his resume (or extra arms which should be easier)?
Thanks everyone |

A ball carrier can catch a bomb.
A ball carrier can catch/pickup a clone ball.
A ball carrier with a clone ball can catch a bomb.
Sometimes you need to ignore reality and play a game  |

What LM said.
Unless you want to house rule differently, and for such an edge case it hardly seems worth the effort. |

The Bombadier skill description explicitly states "Holding the ball does not prevent a player from catching or intercepting (and then throwing) a bomb."
The Ball Clone card explicitly states "Players may not pick-up, catch or intercept a ball if they are already carrying one."
Edit: The above is from BB2016 card. The wording on the BB2020 card is slightly different but the same effect: "...a player in possession of one ball cannot attempt to pick up or catch the other."
So:
1. A player with a/the ball can catch a bomb.
2. A player with a ball can not pick up another.
3. Can't occur as #2 can't occur.
Note this is based on BB2016 (and CRP/LRB previously). I have not yet obtained BB2020. |
