jonamok 103 Posted April 26, 2019 Probably a dumb question, but if I get a Hidden boon and don’t use it that turn, what happens to it? Can I just keep it in my prepared area until I use it at any later point in the adventure? The rules say nothing about it expiring, so I just have it and use it to become spontaneously hidden at some future juncture? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AncientVirus 0 Posted April 26, 2019 I can't remember the exact wording on the card but I understand that it remains with you until used for its ability. However you have to discard it when attacked to negate damage. There is no inclusion of the word "may" within the first part of text, which means it must be discarded.

Just imagine your character hiding in a bush and not getting caught yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonamok 103 Posted April 27, 2019 Yep. Beravor got it first turn and never fought for about another 6 turns or so. Felt odd her running around, climbing trees and wading through bogs all while “hidden”. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fits very well. 3 jonamok, King_Balrog and HirumaShigure reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Abides 2 Posted May 20, 2019 So what do you think about the second part of the card? It says: "When you attack, you may discard this boon to add 1 success". I think it means that I have the option of not staying hidden and adding 1 success, or I can stay hidden but with no additional success to my attack? 1 King_Balrog reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus if you have "Quiet" (burglar) prepared you could even discard Quiet instead of hidden when you attack in order to get the extra success without discarding hidden. There's lots of card combos with the burglar cards! 6 hours ago, The Dude Abides said: By the way, this is the first time I've posted here. Love the game. Welcome!

The Dude Abides 2 Posted May 20, 2019 Thank you Elfik. Additionally, and maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but it took awhile for me to understand that even though I was in a 'Hidden' state, I could still be attacked (activating the top portion of the card) - which sounds to me like a contradiction. And that I could move while hidden, because typically when I hide, I don't usually want to move and give away my position. There are abstract concepts about this game that sometimes make it confusing to grasp, which I'm ok with to a point - and as long as the game designers are consistent with it. 1 Elfik2018 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's true, there's a lot of abstraction involved in this game, although strategy games in general tend to have this aspect. Hidden does have to be discarded when attacked, so I prefer to avoid being attacked by lone goblins when hidden since they rarely do much damage anyway. Once you get used to it, it's quite fun to play around with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
