War Among the Dahan

Frequently Asked Questions

Effect Rules

• When an effect moves Invaders "on each board," is the chosen board the origin or the destination for those pieces?
  Whichever it would be if you targeted a land on that board with that effect. So, for example, Gather pieces into a land on that board (from that board or a different board) or Push pieces from a land on that board (to that board or a different board). [Jagged Earth, p. 12]

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."

• If an effect checks for the "most," "least," or "fewest" of something with a minimum or maximum condition (e.g., "the land with the fewest Towns/Cities (min. 1))," what happens if two conditions are in conflict (e.g., if the land with the fewest Towns/Cities has 0 Towns/Cities)?
  Nothing happens, since nothing meets both conditions.

  If a minimum or maximum limit is given, ignore anything that doesn't meet the min/max condition before ranking what's left. So when checking for "the land with the fewest Towns/Cities (min. 1)," consider only the lands with at least one Town/City before trying to find the fewest Towns/Cities among those lands.

• When an effect happens "on each board," can it be split among multiple lands on that board?
  Yes, unless the effect affects "a land" / "a single land" or is otherwise more specific.
  

  To illustrate the difference, "On Each Board: Push 2 Dahan from a land with Blight to a land without Blight" ("Forsake the Barren Land") must Push both Dahan from the same land because they must both leave "a land with Blight." In contrast, "On Each Board: Push up to 2 Dahan" ("Hard-Working Settlers") can simultaneously Push Dahan from different lands, since it doesn't set any conditions on which land(s) the Dahan leave.

  Similarly, if such an action has multiple instructions, like "On Each Board: Add 1 Beasts. Remove 1 Disease." ("Life's Balance Tilts"), it can resolve each of its instructions in a different land (in this case, adding a Beasts token in one land and removing a Disease token from a different land).
