Empty Deck Rules Question

[Bullroarer Took 996]

I'm not sure why but I have been assuming that an empty deck means a loss, but it happened to me last night in Extracurricular Activities and after searching the rule book I can't find it stated anywhere. Little help? TIA

If your deck is empty and you need to draw a card, you shuffle your discard into a new deck and suffer one horror. However, that scenario in particular has other negative effects that trigger off being decked.

[Noaloha 25]

If your investigator deck runs out, you shuffle up your discard and return it to the deck. Then you take 1 horror.

 

From p9 of the RR, 'Drawing Cards'

If an investigator with an empty investigator deck needs
to draw a card, that investigator shuffles his or her discard
pile back into his or her deck, then draws the card, and
upon completion of the entire draw takes one horror.

 

Running out of cards in the encounter deck is just a simple shuffle and return. No ill effects. Don't do what I did in a game and add 1 doom!

 

edit: too slow!

It's weird how people don't read the instructions.

Thanks guys.

@Network - I didn't draw any of those luckily.

Lighten up Francis. It's a game. I have read the instructions. I remembered that there was something that happened when you were decked, but I couldn't remember what. So I looked Rules Refernce under deck and found nothing. Then skimmed through Learn to Play again and didn't find anything there again. I congratulate you on having the time to memorize the rules of every game you play. I don't.

God help you if you've pulled Beyond the Veil...

I had 2 sitting out with Jenny, but she just blew her way past the Experiment with so much time to spare.

what would happen if you nuked your whole deck with Wendy's unique weakness?

Finish the game with what you have left.

What? Like if somehow Abandoned and Alone was the last card in your deck, and somehow all the rest of your deck was in your discard?

 

Well, then you'd remove your discard from the game, as instructed, and take the horror. Then you'd be forced to reshuffle, which costs 1 Sanity. Then next turn you'd do that again, since your entire deck is Abandoned and Alone. Sounds like a short trip to Paintown for dear old Wendy.
