Just played a match against roaring moon going first. I passed and he played judge and a splattering of other cards, got 3 energy on moon and attacked in his first turn? Can anyone explain how this happened? I thought you cannot attack on your first turn.

    The player who goes first can't attack, the player who goes second can.
