Reminder Cards

Frequently Asked Questions

Adversaries

• With Habsburg Monarchy (Livestock Colony) Level 5 (Wave of Immigration), do you do the effect before or after the Explore on that turn?
  After completely resolving the Explore Card above it, including an "After Exploring" Escalations. If you're resolving another Explore Card that turn, e.g., because you're playing the Surges of Colonization scenario, resolve the effects of the Reminder Card before revealing the next Explore Card.

  Formally, Reminder Cards resolve once you're done resolving the Invader Card above them. (Or, in unusual cases like this FAQ, if they end up atop the Invader Deck.)

Effect Rules

• When do you resolve a Reminder Card in the Invader Deck when accelerating multiple cards out of the deck (e.g., during the Despicable Theft scenario)?
  If a Reminder Card is revealed in the middle of accelerating the deck, set it aside and then resolve it after the action that caused the acceleration (and any actions it triggered).

  For Despicable Theft in particular, all Thieves in one Coastal land escape as a single action, so if multiple numbered Thieves escape from that land, accelerate the deck from all of them before resolving the revealed Reminder Card.

Power Cards

• What happens if you gift Bargains of Power and Protection to another Spirit, who uses it? Now that the Reminder Card is in front of them, do you still get the benefit?
  The permanent effects of the Bargain persist and are associated with you even if you don't have the Power Card any more.

  It doesn't matter who the Reminder Card is in front of; it's just a reminder. If table configuration allows, it is probably most convenient to put the Reminder Card between the players who have used the Power Card so that they can all easily reference it.

  For example, if two Spirits each use Bargains of Power and Protection once, both of those Spirits grant Defend 1 to each Dahan within Range 1; it doesn't matter which one more recently used the Power. If a single Dahan is within Range 1 of both Spirits, that Dahan will provide Defend 2, since the two Defend 1 effects stack.

  Similarly if you Forget the Power, you continue to get the benefits and pay the costs, even if another Spirit eventually gains and uses it.

Spirits and Innate Powers

• What happens if Fractured Days Split the Sky uses Visions of a Shifting Future on the Invader deck, and there is a reminder card right below the top card?
  Set aside the reminder card, look at the top Invader Card, and shuffle the top two Invader Cards (one of which was previously below the reminder card). Then put the cards back on top of the deck, with the reminder card below the top card.

  If you instead choose to put the top Invader Card on the bottom of the deck, resolve the reminder card before moving on with the rest of the Slow Power Phase.

  Unless otherwise specified, Reminder Cards mark a position in the deck. They are not Invader Cards.
