General FAQ Questions
Can I look through my discard deck?
No
If a player power moves another player into an empty room, does that player get to use the room benefit?
Yes, immediately.
Can Lady Weirdwood portal from the Throne Room, once rescued?
No, she cannot portal when she is first rescued there (as she did not move into the room but was already there, and she did not participate in the battle that removed the last Scarabs). However, she can use that ability if moving into that room in the future, after being rescued.
How does “shifting rooms” work?
Whenever you are allowed to shift the position of rooms, you may select 2 rooms on the same ring and shift their positions, meaning Room A will be moved to Room B’s location and vice versa. Everything inside each room stays with it, and thus moves with the room to its new position.
During a Scarab Phase, do Scarabs enter rooms with a Rubble or Fire Tile?
No, the Scarabs will continue to move clockwise to the next open room that does not have a Rubble or Fire Tile.
How does spawning Scarabs (via rolling the room dice) work for Rubbled rooms and rooms on Fire?
When rolling the room dice to spawn a Scarab, if you roll a room that is Rubbled, roll the dice again until you roll a non-Rubbled room, and spawn the Scarab there (as nothing can enter a Rubbled room).
When rolling the room dice to spawn a Scarab, if you roll a room that is on Fire, do not spawn the Scarab at all (the Fire kills them instantly).
