Enkil Cog - Madness Network - Acting outside own turn

I'm sorry about asking because I think it should a well known mechanic but.... I still find confusing how impulse and acting out of own turn should be handled. Can someone explain it like I was a 4 years old child? Thank you

All of those examples give you the rules. Now, practicality wise, know that the current player is done in thier minionphase. Say "tell me when your done with your minion phase" and or yell when they transfer.

Yes, there is an art to this also. Too early in their turn and you can give away your intentions; or beneficially induce them to pass the impulse (and end their minion phase) with the impression you're going to act. The best play depends on the situation — I think this is one of the less obvious strengths of Enkil Cog.

Also remember that after you take your Enkil Cog action, remember that impulse passes on to the player who's turn it is so, if they still have minions which ccould act, they can chose to do so.

If I give him the impulse, and he decline to act, may I act again? I think yes, and he has the chance to act at the very end of my minion phase (when all my minion avew either taken an action or declined to)?
