Answer

Ruling: Generally no. Players are expected to call a judge to confirm rules before making decisions. A player can only rewind and make a different decision if they have not gained any new information since taking the action and a judge allows it.

Sequence:

  • Players must consider options before taking actions
  • If uncertain about rules, call a judge before making the decision
  • After taking an action, rewinding is only allowed if no new information was gained
  • Judges who can't be sure no information was gained should not allow rewinding

Nuances:

  • A judge ruling itself may constitute "new information" that prevents rewinding
  • When it's unclear whether new information was gained, judges should not allow the rewind
  • If multiple actions have been taken in sequence, rewinding is not an option
