Got to play for the first time last night, and while I enjoyed it, my group had a number of issues. Hoping to get some clarification.
Political Agenda - Is this an "action" card simply because there's no better place to put it?
Leg Sweep - Text says "target hero". Would there ever be any more than one hero in combat?
"Sacrifice" and "Discard" cards on action card piles - (Ex: Rampage, Berserk, Shield) Can a player simply move the card from the stack to the sacrifice pile and gain it's benefit during their turn? Similarly, can a card be "discarded" for its effect by moving it from the stack to your own discard pile?
Desperation - Strangely worded. Do I play the card to the "Field of Play", then choose to sacrifice it later? Or, do I have to decide whether or not to sacrifice the card when it's "played"?
Flame Basilisk - States that "no additional action cards may be played this combat", but the rules state that action cards may not be played until after the encounter card is revealed. Am I missing something? Why is "additional" used if I couldn't have played any yet?
Ooq - States "If your hero is Peepohu, your scouts have +1 damage". When would this effect ever occur? Am I wrong that you can't play scouts in your own combat, nor can you play allies to block/aid?
Also, I feel like the rules could use a revision. It's odd to see only one term in the "Game Terms" section, and to read about rules here on this forum that aren't mentioned in the book, especially with regard to things like action/reaction timing, "negating" cards not negating the entire card, and end-game conditions which seem way to fundamental to the game to be left off.
Thanks for the help.
