Long rest

menu
Placeholder

Resting is the main way players can return discarded cards back into their hand of available cards.

A player has two options when resting: a short rest or a long rest.

A long rest is declared during the card selection step of a round and constitutes the player’s entire turn for the round.

Resting players are considered to have an initiative value of 99.

At the end of the initiative order (99):

1 - Choose to lose one of the discarded cards, then return the rest of the discarded cards to your hand.

2 - Perform a “Heal 2, Self” action

3 - Refresh all spent item cards.

The rest action can only be taken if a player has two or more cards in his or her discard pile.

A player becomes exhausted if, at the beginning of a round, a player cannot play two cards from his or her hand (because they have one card or no cards in his or her hand) and also cannot rest (because they have one card or no cards in their discard pile).
