S&S Lem recharge power


Rules Questions and Gameplay Discussion


Skulls & Shackles Lem has the following power:

"When you would recharge a card, you may shuffle it into your deck instead."

What happens if he must recharge more than one card? (Example: the location Fog Bank says that when closing, "Recharge your hand, which must contain at least 1 card." Obviously, it could easily contain more than one.)

My understanding is that if you must recharge multiple cards at the same time, you may recharge those cards in any order, making it seem you are recharging them one at a time. This would lend credence to the idea that multiple cards could be shuffled into Lem's deck when recharging. I just don't know if "a" card needs to be read as "one card". I would go with whatever was intended, if I knew, but this seems open to interpretation unless I have missed something.

Thanks!


Each time that you recharge a card, you have the opportunity to shuffle it. In the case of recharging multiple cards, you can shuffle after any of the individual cards. Obviously, if you shuffle after the last card you recharge, you could have just shuffled the entire set of cards back into your deck. But this could be useful if there was a card you specifically wanted on the bottom, but wanted a better chance of getting all of the other cards. Shuffle every card but the ones you want on the bottom and then put those on the bottom.

That's the exact reason that if you are going to recharge more than one card (and you do want to shuffle your deck … remember that it is a "may" mechanic) that you shuffle everything except a card you might want on the bottom of your deck then refrain to shuffle that one back in and recharge instead.


.. actually I would rewrite Theryon's sentence (if he allows me) as :

If you are going to recharge more than one card, shuffle all of them in the deck except the cards you want at the bottom of your deck, then add those at the bottom of your deck in whatever order you prefer.
