Closing a location question


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


So, ran into this situation last night:

We were playing a three player game and had one location that no one was particularly suited to close, I think it was a wisdom check.

Anyway, the player at that location defeated the henchman there and then failed the close check, so the location stayed open. We continued to play and eventually explored all of the cards in that location's deck.

At that point, with the location empty, is that an automatic close, or do you still have to roll to close the location?

In reading the rulebook it seems you still have to roll to close the location even if it's empty. Just wanted to clarify.

Thanks!

Yes, you still need to follow the 'When Closing' text...the only automatic close at the current time is defeating the Villain at the location.


The best thing to do is to read every location's close check before you start playing, and if you find one that is going to be a really, really hard one to pass for your party, explore it last aka chase the villain there. Once he/she is there and you defeat him/her, the location automatically closes without having to make that difficult check. If it is a really boon-centric location, you can go ahead and empty it before chasing the villain there as long as you still leave yourself time to win the game.
