Discovery tokens represent useful artefacts you discover during the course of the game. As with all elements, if you acquire them during the Action Phase, place them in the Future Resources space, then move them to the Available Resources space at the end of the phase; if you acquire them at other times, place them directly in the Available Resources space.

Once available, Discovery tokens can be used at any time, unless the rules for the token in question indicate otherwise. Discard a Discovery token when you use it.

Standard Discovery tokens

Candles: Discard this token to gain a neutral brown Action pawn which can be used for one Build Action in a future Action Phase, and is discarded after the Action is resolved.

Fallen Tree: Discard this token when you would place it in the Available Resources space, and place 1 wood there instead.

Goat: If the Weapon level is at least 1, discard this token to gain 1 * fur and 1 * food. This token can be used when planning Actions in the Action Phase, or in other Phases without restriction, but not while resolving Actions. While this token is in the Available Resources space (has not been traded in), the food depicted on it does not perish during the Night Phase, since it is not yet food.

Healing Herbs: If the Pot is available, discard this token to build the Medicine Item immediately.

Herbs: If the Pot is available, discard this token to increase Morale by 1.

Large Leaves: Discard this token to ignore 1 rain cloud in the Weather Phase.

Nourishing Larvae: Discard this token when you would place it in the Available Resources space, and place 2 food there instead.

Old Machete: Discard this token to increase the Weapon level by 1.

Poison: If the Pot is available, discard this token to increase the Weapon level by 2.

Treasure: Discard this token to allow the First Player to draw one Treasure card from the Mystery deck. If this happens during the Action Phase, the Treasure is placed in the Future Resources space. Outside of the Action Phase, it is immediately available.

Thorny Bushes: If the Shelter has been built (or you have a natural Shelter), discard this token to increase the Palisade level by 1.

Tobacco: Discard this token to increase Morale by 1.

Vegetables: If the Pot is available, discard this token during the Night Phase to heal 2 Wounds on 1 character, or 1 Wound on each of two characters.

Special Discovery tokens

The meaning of these tokens is defined by the scenario sheet you are using.
