A rule thought


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Hey first please remember this comes from someone who PASSIONATELY loves this game. Love is not strong enough.

here are my thoughts

The rules that you can use any boon are not clear. It bothers me that I didn't know that as a Divine user that I could cast Arcane spells. I know you can, and you have to banish it after, but I wish it were spelled out more clearly. (maybe it is) I am on my 4rth round of reading the rules and at times it is like digging for gold I find thing I miss :)

My thought process is that if you can only use light armor and you find heavy armour you shouldn't be able to use it. and that followed that if I were not arcane I should not be able to cast any arcane spells. Thanks Mike Selinker for the clarfication. Again I wish it were in the book clearer.

permanently closing a location is not clear also. (I have submitted a question on that already)

I wish I had sat down and really thought of all the issues I had with this game. There are not alot and they crop up durning gameplay and I forget them :) If I think of them I will add them. The game mechanic is great I just thing the rules can be a bit clearer.

I am playing the 2nd sceanario of Skin Saw Murders with a buddy and we are having a blast. I would say for those reading this there are times where for the sake of the game you have to create a rule that fits and lookup the rule later and if there is not a clear rule then use the one you created. I call that a house rule.


It is in there. Though it might be something you could have missed.

Cards Do What They Say. Read any card as it is encountered or played, and do whatever it says as soon as it makes sense to do so. Let the card tell you what to do, and don’t impose limitations that aren’t there. You can play an armor card even if there isn’t one in your deck list...

There are things I missed the first few times as well. And I agree, this game is a total blast.

This sentence is really important:

Anyone can play a card whenever the card allows it.

Don't let your thought process get in the way of that rule.
