(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-04-22)

Say you have 2 keepers (*Love* and *War* for example), and the current rules allow you to play 2 cards. In your hand you have *All you Need is Love* (goal) and *Trash a Keeper* (action).

Can you trash your own *War* keeper, play the appropriate goal, and win? *Trash a Keeper* says you can trash any keeper; to me that includes your own.

Similar situations include when the goal is already played, and various configurations involving *Peace (no War)* and *The Brain (no TV)*.

This came up in my hand in a game with my daughter the other night, I house-ruled against myself and she went on to win.
