Thread: Elder Sign:: Rules:: Duke - and another owner,

by zombiegod

In our last game Duke was already owned by a player.

A different player was devoured, and drew a new character, Ashcan Pete, who begins the game with Duke.

So, does Pete take Duke and become the rightful owner, or does he begin play without him?

When completing an adventure and a doom token shows as a reward does that mean one is added to the doom track or removed?

If a player is consumed whilst a die or dice are on a spell card, is the spell card discarded, and the dice released? Or does the card and dice remain in play for other players to use?

Thanks,
Patty.

If I'm simultaneously reduced to 0 Sanity 'and also' 0 Stamina both at the same time, are two Elder signs lost, or just the one?

Do new monsters appear when a new location i.e. Public Lavatory is placed?

I am assuming 'no', because Kate's turn hasn't finished, we are in the Resoultion Phase.

1,If I play the card that says defeat a monster after rolling, does the monster have to be from that adventure? Also if I do use the card on the monster of the adventure I'm attempting do I keep the token?do i also apply the effects from the token? E.g. Advance the clock or lose sanity etc?
2,when spending a token do I place the card back under the adventure card pile, or If spending monster token,do I put that monster back in the monster stack?
I always play that you can't but elder signs from the museum as I think it makes the game a bit to easy, is that ok? Or does it defeat the point of the game?
Thanks.

Thread: Elder Sign:: Rules:: Using sanity/stamina in tasks

Hi!


I was wondering about using sanity in tasks like the Medusa Exhibition adventurecard.

The card is a Arrow down tasks, 1st. 1 Terror and 1 sanity, 2nd. 1 scroll and 1 sanity, 3rd. 7 magnifying glasses.

The penalty for failing this card is loose 2 sanity. Does that mean that all in all I loose 4 sanity?

So, poor little Jenny had to either discard 2 trophies or lose 1 sanity and 1 stamina due to a "On Midnight" effect on an adventure. Sadly for her, she had 1 trophy and 1 sanity and stamina.
So she was devoured.
I then draw my new character and it's Skids who have 3 sanity and 7 stamina.
The new mythos card says "Add a doom token or an investigator with 4 or more stamina lose 3 stamina".

My question is, can I remove the stamina from Skids or he only "appear" after the midnight phase?

by azjerei

I'm confused by the lack of examples about placing gates in Gates of Arkham. You're supposed to place them on an adventure that does not contain a gate or a seal. Does this include both face down and face up adventures? For me, it feels weird to place them on face up adventures. Also, how to determine which adventure? Just go from left to right, or collectively select one before?

Just read the rulebook and have these questions:

Does the "lock" happen immediately when a card with a lock symbol is revealed? What if the active player has no die of that type?

If you complete a task on an adventure with multiple tasks, the dice stay on that task, but if you complete a monster task, you get your dice back immediately to use for the next task - is that correct?

If you end up completing one task but failing the adventure, what happens to the completed task and the dice on it?

by gameloverforever

Hi, I have just a few questions.

1. If something requires you to pay trophies and you have none,does anything happen?

2. If you have a dice focused, can you pull it and reroll it in a future try...before failing adventure? So you need a skull and put it in focus, but the next roll you get plenty, can you then pull the focused die and roll it for the next task?

3. Are doom tokens placed like at midnight or only when a card says to add one? So the game can last many days? In theory 30 days even (it doesn't seem to say, but thought I would ask to make sure)

Thanks

The penalty for losing the adventure is one sanity and one clue token. Are you allowed even to attempt the adventure if:
1. You don't have any clue tokens to loose,
2. Losing one (1) sanity would reduce you to zero sanity?
(See rule about not attempting tasks that you can't afford the penalty for)

Thread: Elder Sign:: Rules:: Monsters at Midnight! Who has final say?

by Zotmeister

Leave it to FFG to produce an errata that ADDS an ambiguity to a game. I could have sworn I saw an answer to this somewhere, but I just prowled the current rulebook and FAQ and didn't find it, so here I am asking:

When a monster appears during resolving Midnight effects - during which it isn't any player's turn anymore - and the players can't come to an agreement as to where it should go (assuming there are multiple possibilities for it), who gets final say on where it ends up?

Now, if we were playing pre-errata, this is a non-issue: the player who just finished their turn would get final say, as it IS still their turn. I personally would tend toward retaining this behavior if for no other reason than that it's how it USED to work (and that FFG probably was too myopic to realize they broke it). However, the current rules clearly state that when Midnight is being resolved, the turn of the player for whom the bell tolled is OVER, so that if anyone has a valid claim to being the active player, it's most likely the player who would go NEXT.

The rulebook really goes out of its way to make it clear that it's nobody's turn while resolving Midnight, but the monster placement rules all specify decisions are made by "the player", which is assuming (and clearly wrongly) that there always is one.

Thoughts? (I wouldn't hold my breath on an official response.)

by fbnaulin

Hello. Could you help me with this one?

I'm playing solo, and Yig awakens: "When Yig awakens, each investigator must return a Common Item, Unique Item, and Spell or be devoured."

My investigator doesn't meet the requirement, so he is devoured.

Wich on is correct?
a) The battle has started already, so I'm eliminated and lose the game.
b) The battle starts after Yig awakens, so I could choose a new investigator and keep playing.

Thanks.

I was hoping someone might be able to help me clarify one point in the games rules, then I am ready to play :-)

Do empty/partial/full monster slots on locations have to be filled at the start of the game or are they considered placeholders for later events (terror effects, mythos effects, rewards/penalties etc)?

Thank you.
