New Species Spread

Frequently Asked Questions

Aspects

• When the Dark Fire Aspect discards a card with both Moon and Fire to pay for a choice event, how much Energy does that count towards the cost? How about if it forgets the power card isntead?
  2 Energy and 4 Energy, respectively. The discard and forget options for Choice Events check if a card has a relevant Element, not how many of that Element is on the card.

Definitions

• When instructed to discard a card, which cards can you choose from? Where do those cards go?
  "Discard a card" without any other qualifiers means "put a Power Card from your hand into your discard pile." This most commonly occurs as part of paying for a Choice Event, but can also appear as a cost or detrimental effect.

  Some effects (most notably, the standard effects of Time Passes) discard Power Cards from play because they interact with a specific card that's in play or with cards in play in general. In that case, put the Power Card(s) from play into your discard pile. You can't discard a Power Card from play unless otherwise instructed to do so.

  If instructed to discard a card not controlled by a player, the card goes to that deck's discard pile. This most commonly occurs when gaining a Power Card, discarding the top card of the Event Deck on Turn 1, and when discarding a Minor Power as a randomizer.

• When Event cards ask you to discard the top major or minor power and do something on each board, do you discard just one card overall or one per board?
  You discard one card for each board and follow the instructions on that board.
