Question regarding the end of your turn power.

Do you always banish/"burn" the boons, or only if the cards you examine contain a red mantis assassin?

You always burn the boons, as that power is its own sentence and not contingent on the previous "if".

Good. The key here (and my son read it right), was there would be a semi-colon between those two phrases if it was contingent, not a period and two sentences.

Exactly right! :)


Does the Red Mantis go back on top as it is not one of the "any other examined cards"?

Example, you examine the top 3 cards, Barrier, Boon & Red Mantis.
As you examined a Red Mantis, you encounter the danger. Then banish the Boon and return any other examined cards to the bottom , so just the Barrier (as you have already performed the required action from examining the Red Mantis)?

Lone Shark Games

It isn't a boon, so it is one of the "other (than the boons you just banished) examined cards" here.


As I suspected but I had to check as it sparked a discussion within my group. Sometimes people read into things that just aren't there ;)
Thank you again :)
