Eliminated opponents cards?

[iamcootis]

Sometimes when I eliminate opponents and retrieve their cards I make a set and can immediately play them. Other times I make a set and it won't let me play them. What gives?

When you take them out, if you have 5 or above, you can play as many as you have. If not, you can't.

Right.

You cannot accumulate more than 5 spoils, therefore there may be a mid-turn cashing in of groups after eliminating an opponent.

That's not exactly right-- you can accumulate more than 5 cards. You can't possess more than 5 at the beginning of your next turn or during an attack phase of your current turn.

To answer his question- you have to have at least 5 cards in order to cash during the middle of a turn regardless if you have a match with 3 or 4 cards unlike when you have an option at the beginning of a turn. It's commonly referred as a mid-turn cash or turning a set.
