Chapter One FAQ
GENERAL
SHOULD THE MAIN DECK BE DISPLAYED FACE UP OR FACE DOWN?
Face down. When you buy a card from the Main Deck, you draw the top card from it. It's a gamble buying one of those cards.
DO CHARACTERS NEED TO BE FACING THE DIRECTION OF THEIR ATTACKS?
No. Future rulesets may provide an advantage for this, or for attacking a character from behind, etc. But in the current basic rules, direction does not matter. You may with to rotate an oversized figure like Brog or Piggy for some unique tactical reason like blocking opponent movement or setting up Piggy's passive attack.
WHAT ORDER DO EFFECTS HAPPEN IF THIS ISN’T SPECIFIED?
If this isn’t clear, the current player’s effect always fires first.
WHICH FIGURES TAKE UP MORE THAN ONE SQUARE?
At the time of writing, only Brog and Piggy take up more than one square. Brog takes two. Piggy takes three.
WHY DOES THE ARROW LABELED "BASE" IN THE RULEBOOK POINT TO THE FIRST ROW AND NOT THE BASE?
That is an error in the first print, I'm afraid. Sorry for the confusion. The bases are basically the "end zones".
WHAT CAN I DO IF A PIECE GETS BENT ON A FIGURE?
Putting the unpainted figure in hot water to straighten the piece, then cold water to set it again usually works great. My lawyer would probably tell me to be careful with hot water, because lol humans. Sigh.
GETTING A COIN FOR HAVING THE MOST FIGHTERS IN THE GATE: DO YOU ONLY GET THE COIN ON YOUR OWN 1ST PHASE, OR CAN YOU GET A COIN DURING YOUR OPPONENTS 1ST PHASE TOO?
You only get coins from the gate on your turn.
BROG
BROG’S FIGURE TAKES UP MORE SPACE, HOW DOES THAT WORK?
Brog and Piggy take up multiple squares, but only move 1 square at a time equal to their Speed Stat like any other Character. Each figure is considered to be in all of the squares that figure fills for the purposes of targeting and attacking. They may rotate using the rotation rules for large figures. When Respawning, they may not Respawn into any squares beyond the first row of squares outside of their Base. If part of their figure is still inside the Base, that is allowed, they are considered to be outside of the Base for rules purposes.
DO LARGE FIGURES NEED TO BE COMPLETELY IN THE GATE TO COUNT FOR THE COIN BONUS?
No. Only one square of their figure must be inside the gate.
IS BROG OP?
No. These concerns have been exhaustively tested. The general consensus is if either feels OP, check that you're following the rules appropriately. If they still feel OP, try a couple more games.
CAN YOU USE MULTIPLE OF THE SAME CHARACTER IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE SETS?
If you want the game to be balanced, no. If you want awesome stuff to happen, yes.
GILDRI
DOES GILDRI TAKE UP ONE SQUARE OR TWO SQUARES?
Gildri takes up one square, even though the base overlaps the grid somewhat.
DOES GILDRI’S GOLDEN ARMOR WORK AGAINST EXILE’S TRICK SHOT?
No.
DOES GILDRI'S PASSIVE ABILITY GET HIM COINS FOR BLANKS IN ADDITION TO GETTING COIN ROLLS, OR ONLY ON BLANK ROLLS?
He gets coins for blank and coin rolls.
LOST BOY
DOES LOST BOY GAIN AN ADDITIONAL +2 STRENGTH FOR EVERY ROUND HIS PASSIVE ABILITY IS ACTIVE?
No, it is one-time, and not cumulative.
IS THERE ANYWAY TO REMOVE RADIATION TOKENS?.. OR IT'S JUST ON DEATH?
Just on death.
DOES LOST BOY'S FALSE SUN ABILITY ACTIVATE IF HE DOESN'T DEAL ANY DAMAGE?
Yes.
PENNY
IS PENNY OP?
No. These concerns have been exhaustively tested. The general consensus is if either feels OP, check that you're following the rules appropriately. If they still feel OP, try a couple more games.
FIREBUG
IS FIREBUG OP?
This is usually brought up by people who are attacking twice PER ACTION POINT. Make sure you are only attacking twice PER TURN.
SINCE FIREBUG’S ROASTED IS WORDED “SUCCESSFUL ATTACK” AND LOST BOY IS JUST “ATTACK” DOES THIS MEAN “SUCCESSFUL” INDICATES THAT DAMAGE HAD TO HAVE BEEN DEALT?
Yes.
IF A CHARACTER WITH A REVENGE TOKEN GETS KILLED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN FIREBUG, DOES THE REVENGE TOKEN STAY ON THEM AFTER RESPAWN?
Yes.
