Lost cards

menu
Placeholder

During a player’s turn, the two played cards will be used to perform actions and then are either discarded, lost, or activated, depending on the actions that were taken.

If the performed action from a card contains a symbol in the lower right of the action field , the card is instead placed in a player’s lost pile.

Lost cards can only be returned to a player’s hand during a scenario by using a special recover action.

Some actions may contain an active effect. Instead of being placed in the lost pile, the card is placed in the active area in front of the player to keep track of the effect.

Once the effect wears off, the card is then transferred to the appropriate pile.

These cards are considered lost and can be placed in the lost pile at anytime.

Certain abilities allow a player to recover lost ability cards. This means that the player can look through his or her lost pile (or lost cards in his or her active area), select up to a number of cards specified in the ability, and immediately return them to his or her hand.

The type of card gained is specified in the ability.

Some cards, however, cannot be recovered once lost. This is denoted by the symbol. This symbol applies to the card no matter how the card was lost or consumed.
