The barrier Baited Jewel Box in Mummy's Mask is a Trigger with the power:
When you examine this card, shuffle a weapon, an armor, or an item into your location deck.
I noticed that two posters on BGG, and at least one on this forum, assume this means that when you examine the Baited Jewel Box you take the boon from the game box and shuffle it into the location. The flaw in this interpretation is: if it worked this way, you could fill the location with any number of boons by examining the BJB multiple times.
The relevant rule is:
If you are instructed to play, reveal, display, discard, recharge, bury, banish, or otherwise manipulate a card, that card must come from your hand unless otherwise specified.
The BJB instructs you to "otherwise manipulate a card". The bait comes from your hand. Even though the rule is clear, the prevalence of the misinterpretation may mean that a FAQ is in order.
Wow - I wasn't aware and made the same mistake, even though it's actually clear from the wording of the card in hindsight - thanks for the reminder.
No more christmas for the rest of our run through MM then :(
We never falled into that "trap" (pun intended). I guess that's the benefit of being non-english native speakers : we had to understand what "baited" meant and it became quite obvious it wasn't there to help us. :-)
I can see why people would get confused. There's a whole lot of scenario/location powers out there which say "shuffle [some type of card] into [a deck]" and they never say "from the box", or at least not the ones I've seen. In contrast, the Harbour location's closing power explicitly says "from your hand" (presumably just to avoid this confusion). So just reading the cards, you could certainly be excused for thinking that cards which get shuffled into locations come from the box by default.
