FAQs

---

The active player always gains the rewards of any monster being killed, regardless of how the monster was killed. If the monster killed was a boss the active player also gains the soul.

---

Certain monsters such as Stoney and Death's Head can't be attacked. If a player attacks the top of the monster deck and reveals a monster that can't be attacked, the monster is placed into an active slot and the attack fizzles. This does still count as that player's attack for the turn.

---

Normally the rules of the stack mean that one of the effects or dice rolls that would kill either the player or the monster resolves first, and thus combat will be cancelled before the other can die. There are a few exceptions, however, with a number of effects that deal damage to both a player and a monster at the same time, such as Lust's effect. In these rare cases where both the player and the monster die at the same time you resolve the monster’s death first, then the player’s.

---

The monster’s triggered effect would be added to the stack and would resolve before the attack roll that would deal the final damage to kill the monster. Combat ends when either the player or monster dies, and the unresolved attack roll on the stack would fizzle when the player dies. The monster would therefore not die in this scenario even after the player does.

---

Yes. Whilst monsters like Stoney and Death's Head can't be attacked, they can still be damaged (and potentially killed) by loot card and item effects (e.g. bombs, Mr Boom, Golden Razor Blade).

---

The print and future versions of cards like Exposito that force a player to attack the top of the monster deck will have an 'if able' added to the end of that effect to indicate that if all active monster slots have monsters in them that can't be covered then that effect fizzles and the active player may choose to attack one of the active monsters. The ruling remains the same even with the old wording - if there are no active slots that the top card of the monster deck could be drawn into, the effect forcing a player to attack the top of the monster deck will fizzle.

---

The two treasure cards not selected by Eden during setup are put on the bottom of the treasure deck.

---

Items with “Destroy this:” don’t function with Eden because the effect is conditional on the item destroying itself, and the item won't be able to be destroyed if it gains eternal. Nothing prevents you from taking the item, but the effect would fizzle on every activation and so there will likely be better options.

---

Most items that destroy themselves don't work if made eternal, but Glass Cannon is an exception as the main effect is not conditional on the item destroying itself. With Glass Canon, only the 'Loot 2' after a roll of 1-5 will fizzle if the item can't destroy itself.

---

Yes. Once the item card becomes a soul card it loses all its abilities, including being eternal, and so can be discarded, destroyed, or stolen like any other soul card.

---

No. The soul is attached to the Lost’s character card and cannot be stolen, discarded, or destroyed by any means.

---

Yes. A trinket will be played from your hand like any other loot card and it is only once it resolves that it will then be considered an item. From this point onwards it will be treated no differently to any other item, and will stay in play until it is destroyed.

---

Yes. Butter Bean can cancel any loot card being played, and trinkets aren't considered items till the loot card effect resolves. The same goes for the lost soul: it only becomes a soul card once the effect of the loot card resolves.

---

The cancelled loot card would go on the discard pile first followed by the Butter Bean on top.

---

No, Counterfeit Penny only causes a player to gain an extra penny when a card specifically says you 'gain' x coins.

---

If all 100¢ has been hoarded by other players, players can simply no longer gain ¢.

---

Nothing. If a penalty or effect forces a player to lose something they have none of, no other penalty takes place. If a player is asked to lose more of a particular resource than they have, they just reduce the resource in question down to 0; for example, if a card forces a player to discard 2 loot, but they only have 1, that player must discard that 1 card.

---

If a deck runs out of cards you simply shuffle the appropriate discard pile and then use that as the new deck.

---

You roll a dice when resolving the rewards for that monster's death and then when that dice roll resolves you gain ¢ or loot equal to the number rolled.

---

A player can only die once per turn, and will heal to full health at the next ending phase. It is possible for a player to die multiple times, once per turn, before they next get a turn of their own, however.

---

A player can’t choose to deal damage to a dead player, but it is possible for them to take damage from effects where the target is not chosen by a player, for example those that target all players or the player to the left or right of another player. A player can never go below 0 HP.

---

You would be able to respond to your own death before it resolves and play your loot card for the turn if you hadn't already. Once you have finished paying the Death Penalty and the turn has moved to the Ending Phase you would no longer be able to play a loot card without tapping your character card or through some other means, however, as you would no longer be in the Action Phase of the turn.

---

If a player’s death is prevented by an effect, their health is returned to what it was before they took lethal damage or were killed by an effect.

---

If the active player dies when there are any empty shop or monster slots they must refill them before their turn can end. This will happen at the start of the ending phase. Any non-monster cards drawn would be played as normal.

---

If a player only has a soul card that is worth 2 souls they must still discard it because it still counts as one soul card. Similarly, soul cards that are worth 2 souls can be stolen by effects that can steal soul cards.

---

If a bonus soul is discarded or destroyed it is placed face down next to the game and cannot be gained again.

---

If two passive items go off at the same time their effects are added to the stack in player turn order, then resolve backward just like all other stacking effects. If one player controls multiple passive items that trigger at once, they choose the order the effects trigger and are added to the stack.

---

No. Once a player has declared what they are attacking or purchasing they must attack/purchase that way when the declaration resolves regardless of what other players may do before then.

---

Monster effects are added to the stack first, followed by any other triggered effects. The effects will then resolve in reverse order like normal.

---

Yes. The item or loot card effect would be put on the stack above the dice roll and would therefore resolve first, cancelling the attack before the dice roll would resolve and kill the player.

---

No, you choose an effect when you put it on the stack, and once you've chosen an effect that effect is locked into place and can't be changed.

---

Yes. The activation of the item would be above the item or loot card that would deactivate it on the stack, and therefore would resolve first.

---

Yes. The activation of your character card would be above the effect forcing you to discard a loot card on the stack, and therefore would resolve first. The same is true for effects where a loot card would be stolen rather than discarded.

---

Yes, if a monster is killed during an attack via an outside source all attack rolls against that monster are cancelled as the attack ends when the monster is killed (and is therefore no longer in play).

---

The Haunt items are items, and are not considered curses. They can be targeted by any effect that targets items (including reroll effects, and effects like Contract From Below, or Donation Machine). They cannot be targeted by any effect that targets curses (such as The Bible or Dagaz).

---

The Haunt items aren't treated differently to any other item: if revealed when refilling a shop slot the Haunt item will simply fill that slot.

---

The effect adds 1 to the total damage the player who owns it takes. It does not deal an additional instance of damage.
