Ok, my group has been playing for a couple of weeks now and we think we may have been playing this incorrectly.
This is from page 12 in the rulebook.
Summoning and Adding Cards
Sometimes you will be told to summon a card and encounter it, or
to add a card to a deck. When this happens, retrieve the card from
the box. If you need to summon or add a number of cards and there
aren’t enough copies of that card in the box, the current player
decides how to distribute the cards that are there; ignore the rest.
In the case of a card that says EACH player summons such and such a monster and has to encounter it, we were just retrieving one card and passing it around for each player to fight. We are pretty sure there was at least one situation where there would have not been enough of the particular monster type for each player to have fought it.
So, my question is has anyone else encountered this problem and how did you resolve? According to the rules above, or just similar to the way I stated we were playing.
I can kind of see it going either way. I imagine when I (now) read the rules that it is an ambush situation and every available monster is rushing in to fight at the same time; hence if there isn't enough, there isn't enough.
On the other hand, maybe the intention, at least in the case of monster encounters, was to make it a much more difficult situation and everyone should be fighting regardless of the fact that there might not be enough cards... you can always imagine the monster.
