I've run into this situation a couple times and was wondering if I was missing a rule or if this is just something that happens in the game. This is my first post in the forums, so be gentle...
I've seen it happen a couple times where I'm searching the location deck for the first monster or an item, per a card ability, and happen to see the villain while searching. Is there a rule that deals with finding the villain without directly playing something looking for him or is it just a free peek? Seems to me cards that have you search for the first monster in a location could work better than character abilities that allow you to look ahead in the location deck.
