Visions of a Shifting Future (Fractured Days Split the Sky)

Frequently Asked Questions

Adversaries

• Can the Salt Deposits Invader Card be removed or discarded from the Invader Deck?
  No, the only way it can leave the Invader Deck is by being advanced out of the Explore Space into the Build Space at the end of the Invader Phase in which it was revealed.

  In particular:

  • If you would Accelerate it out of the deck, instead discard the next Stage II card underneath it (or the top-most Stage III card if there are no Stage II cards left).
  • Visions of a Shifting Future can't bury it to the bottom of the deck (since it's specially placed during Setup), but can shuffle it to take a chance at delaying it.
  • The Past Returns Again can't swap it with a card in the Invader discard.

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.

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