What's the difference between an Invader and an Explorer (the stick figure)?
What's the difference between an Invader and an Explorer (the stick figure)?
Explorer refers only to that type of piece, represented both on cards and on the board by a figure of a person. Invader is a generic term, referring to any of the types of pieces representing the settlers, i.e., an Explorer (stick figure), Town (two buildings), or City (three buildings).
If a rule tells you to do something to an 'Invader', like on Level 3 of the Fear card Isolation, it refers to any one of the three types. If it tells you to count Invaders (like on that same Fear card), it is counting any of the three types equally.
There is no icon referring to a generic Invader, it is always written out as a word.
