Event Cards

• What does the Distant Exploration event card do?
  In the upcoming Explore, it lets the Invaders explore further from an existing base than normal.

  Precisely, for each Explore action this turn they Explore in a land (of the correct type) if there is a Town, City, or Ocean within Range 2.

Play Options

• Playing with an Archipelago, "Distant Exploration" comes up (Invaders Explore at +1 distance). There's an empty islet with an Isolated Ocean. Can Invaders Explore its Coastal lands from facing islet's Coastal lands?
  Only if you want to permit it. The "range 2" that Coastal lands are away from each other does need to measure through both board's Oceans, even though "2" isn't the additive number of steps to do so.
