Sorry - one final question on summons not being able to summon other monsters


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Just so I am totally clear.

The villain in Scenario 1, B adventure forces you to summon and defeat a monster first. We summoned a giant slug, does everyone at the location summon and fight a giant slug? Or does that contravene the summoned monsters don't summon any more monsters rule?

Without actual card text from the villain and the Giant Slug, it is hard to tell. What do the cards say?


For me The Giant Slug cannot summon its friends because it was itself summoned.

(Pardon but I don't know all the WotR cards yet ... LOL)

But I'd agree that if the Giant Slug summons more of his kind for your companions to enjoy, then No, it does not happen and can't summon them since the Slug itself was summoned.

There's no Giant Slug in the game—I'm assuming you mean Giant Maggot Swarm, which normally makes more people summon more giant maggots.

But in this case it doesn't, because the "Summoning and Adding Cards" section of the rulebook says "Summoned cards cannot cause other cards to be summoned."

Mike telling Vic to hold his thought... isn't that like dividing by zero?

Well, I hope the next set has Giant Scarabs and not Giant Slugs ...
