Interrupt cards, such as Bouncing Penguin and Falcon Interceptor are only played when another action or attack card is being played.
They have no effect on whether the card is discarded or not after being played.
Interrupt cards can interrupt “interrupt cards” if they match the type.
Falcon Interceptor can cancel Falcon Interceptor & Bouncing Penguin. But Bouncing Penguin cannot interrupt Falcon Interceptor.
Interrupt Card Examples
Example 1: – Player A plays Golden Goose. – Player B plays Falcon Interceptor. – No more cards are played. The action is cancelled and only Falcon Interceptor goes on the discard pile.
Example 2: – Player A plays Swift Bomber. – Player B plays Falcon Interceptor. – No more cards are played. The Swift Bomber attack is cancelled and both cards go on the discard pile.
Example 3: – Player A plays Rampaging Cassowary against Player B. – Player B plays Bouncing Penguin to redirect the attack back to Player A. – Player A plays an Falcon Interceptor to cancel Player B’s Bouncing Penguin – No more cards are played, Rampaging Cassowary attack continues on Player B with Player A selecting which cards to discard.
Example 5: – Player A plays Rampaging Cassowary against Player B. – Player C plays Bouncing Penguin to redirects the attack to Player A. – Player A plays Falcon Interceptor to cancel the Bouncing Penguin (to allow the original attack to proceed). – Player B plays Falcon Interceptor to cancel Player A’s Falcon Inteceptor. – Rampaging Cassowary attack continues on Player A with Player C selecting which cards to discard.
Example 6: – Player A plays Fishing Frigate on Player B. – Player B plays Bouncing Penguin to bounce back to player A. – Player C plays Bouncing Penguin to redirect to Players A & B. – No more cards are played, so Fishing Frigate is now successfully redirected by Player C to players A & B.
Example 7: – Player A plays Fishing Frigate on Player B. – Player B plays Bouncing Penguin to bounce back to player A. – Player A plays Falcon Interceptor to cancel the card. – Player C plays Parroting Macaw to cancel the Player A’s Falcon Interceptor. – No more cards are played, so Fishing Frigate is now successfully redirected by Player B to player A.
