Food cards apply only to a skill you TARGET (hence the skill icon in the top right corner of the card). therefore only the skill you assign the “boost” from the card too has additional movement range. Other skills are limited to your normal movement range (how many move icons in your upgrade track). Only if the card specifically says “all skills” do all skills receive the boost.
How does Transbobulator work?
You may only activate the ability associated with the colour of crystal on this item (which also means it does nothing in scenarios with no crystals) You target any token on the board (with range) and move it to a new space within the range indicated by the ability which is active.
Rune Of Finding: Who am I allowed to steal from? Do I need to be adjacent? If yes, then do I need to be adjacent before or after moving because I cannot play this card in between?
You may steal from anyone within range show in the top right corner of the card (which is 5 space in this case). You may play this card before or after your movement. AKA you can move into range and steal or steal then run away. Note: no cards under any circumstance can be played during a movement phase.
With the card Rune of Finding can you choose to draw and discard from the exploration deck to find an item, even if there are already pets in the exploration lineup?
You choose Item or Pet before searching. If there is already a card of the type you chose in the lineup you must chose that one. If there is not, you reveal cards from the top of the deck until you find a card of the type you chose. The other cards flipped are placed into the discard pile.
Does the card “Flux Focusser” allow you to use a Teleporter to access a tunnel, as the symbols suggest? Or just move between Teleporters?
It allows you to move between Teleporters as though they were tunnels.
What does protection do? With the Fairy Quodd Mother, can you discarded a card to protect a card you played from getting cancelled by the Void Rune, or does it only protect your hero from card effects?
It protects your Hero from cards including world event cards. It does not protect your cards from void rune.
What are the dots/swords/bag/diamond found on the bottom of Exploration cards used for?
The scenarios determine which dots will be used. The swords are for the Overlord deck and should only be used in an Overlord scenario. The diamonds indicate that they require the use of a Crystal and should only be added in scenarios that have Crystals. The bag indicates that it is an item referenced as specific loot.
How many cards do I start with?
Unless specifically instructed by a given scenario, you begin the game with zero cards. Your first card will be acquired at the end of your first turn during the Exploration Phase.
If I have a card that says “Dash 1”, can I use it to move as soon as I play it?
Crystal Extract cards do just that, Dash you one space OUTSIDE of the movement phase.
Can I play any kind of card in phase 1?
All cards can be played during Phase 1 and/or Phase 3. However, if a particular card adds to your movement or effects the board in some way you wish to take advantage of during your movement phases (Food and Rune card) then the card would be wasted in Phase 3 since you would have already ended your movement.
