    Two things which are not clear to me regarding the tactics cards:

    1. what is the order of players using them? E.g. who plays the first card before and after dice have been rolled?
    2. Is it allowed to use more than one tactics card in one activation? Is there a limit? If not, things seem to be able to get out of hand.

    1. The Underdog chooses who plays Tactics cards first in a Roll. See p11 Face to Face Rolls and also the back cover of the Quick Reference booklet.
    2. The only limit on spending Tactics is how many you have available to spend, and whether they can be spent at that point.

    Ok. But are they spent one per one, or all of the possible ones on one side and then all on another?

    The Underdog chooses which player plays their Tactics first. As there is nothing in the rules that would let the Tactics be played one by one, the first player will need to play all the Tactics they want to, and then he other player will play all the Tactics they want to.

    But only if both players know that they want to play a tactic nomatter what the other do.
    Tactics can be played in response of tactics (NO!). So i can say at first that a dont have intention of playing a tactic but use tactics in response of what my enemy does.

    Yes, but that's because NO! has specific timing on it. You wouldn't then be able to play other Tactics unless they also said 'after the opponent plays a Tactic' or similar wording.

    ?
    I can play a tactic that add a dice to a roll in response of you using a similar tactic.

    To expand, I believe it will go like this in full detail:
    1. Underdog says who will play Tactics first.
    2. That player will play any Tactics they wish to play.
    3. NO! cards can be played at this point to cancel a played Tactic, including a NO! being cancelled by another NO!
    4. The other player will play any Tactics they wish to play.
    5. NO! cards can again be played.

    No, what would let you do that? The Underdog is choosing which player uses their Tactics.

    Paging @-V- and @Palanka as there appears to be a difference between the English wording for Face to Face Rolls and the Spanish wording for Tirada Enfrentada. :frowning:

    Another question about Tactics cards - perhaps I'm missing something in the rules that delineates this, but when you run out of them do you re-shuffle your deck and re-draw, or is that it?

    When you run out of Tactics that's all. You'll have no more Tactics available.

    Sorry to dig this up, but what is the final decision? I can't find it in faq.

    I knew I saw something like that.
    That also is 100% oposite to what was described here :)
