Frequently Asked Questions

Definitions

• When you "Remove 3 Health worth of Invaders," can you Remove 3 damaged Towns?
  No, the Health of an Invader doesn't change when it takes Damage. Damaged Towns still count for 2 Health each.

  A few effects (e.g., Kingdom of England Level 5, or some Event/Fear cards) modify Health, which does affect how many Invaders you can Remove. But Damage does not reduce Health. (Health is simply the total amount of Damage it takes to destroy something.)

Effect Rules

• When an action removes N Health worth of Invaders scaling with a condition (e.g., the number of Dahan for Inspire the Release of Stolen Lands), do the Invaders have to be removed in batches of N Health?
  No. Total up the Health limit on the removal and then remove a set of pieces that's at or under that limit.

  This only applies if the Invaders are all being removed as part of a single action (e.g., in Inspire a Release of Stolen Lands or Wavering Resolve). If "each player" is removing Invaders (e.g., Seek Safety, Belief Takes Root, Depart the Dangerous Land), then that's one action per player – the totals can't be combined.

Fear and Fear Cards

• Can the same piece be moved multiple times with the same Event or Fear card?
  Yes, as long as any restrictions on the card are obeyed.

  For instance, the same Explorer can move multiple times with the Fear card 'Retreat!', and the same Beast can be moved multiple time with 'A Strange Madness among the Beasts'.

  If the card says players must make different choices, this must be obeyed.

General Play

• If an effect moves pieces "on each board," "in each land," or for "each Spirit," can the same piece be moved multiple times?
  Yes, assuming that it separately meets the condition to be moved each time. For example, "Beasts Chase Off Homesteaders" ("On Each Board: Push up to 2 Explorers or 1 Town from a land with Beasts tokens.") can Push a Town multiple times, so long as the Town keeps arriving in a land with Beasts tokens that's on a board where "Beasts Chase Off Homesteaders" hasn't resolved yet.

  Note however that while an "each [piece]" Event/Fear/Adversary effect does create one action per land with that piece, each piece of that type only participates in one of those actions. For example, while "Beasts Prowl" ("Each Beasts token generates 1 Fear if Invaders are present, and moves to an adjacent land if not.") can move a Beasts token into a land that already has Beasts tokens, the newly-arrived Beasts token doesn't participate in the "Beasts Prowl" action there – only count the Beasts that were already there before resolving "Beasts Prowl."
