During the game your Hero will gain items in the form of Item cards and Item tokens. See items explanation of the various item effects.

Item Token example

Gaining Item Cards

When your Hero gains an Item card, you will be told the number and name of that Item card. Find the relevant Item card using the number, but be careful not to see the front of any other Item cards. There are multiple copies of some Item cards. Look for the Item card in the Stock first and then the Archive.

If it is not in the Stock or the Archive (because all copies of it are already in use), instead gain an amount of Star equal to the sale price of the Item card.

Gaining Item Tokens

When your Hero gains an Item token, you will be told the name and shown an image of the Item token. Look for the Item token in the Stock first and then the Archive.

If it is not in the Stock or the Archive (because all copies of it are already in use), instead gain an amount of Star equal to the sale price of the Item token.

Use the same approach if you are instructed to place an unavailable Item token on a Story card; place an amount of Star equal to the sale price of the Item token on the Story card instead.

Taking from the Stock

You may sometimes be told to take an item from the Stock. In this case, if the item is not in the Stock you may not take it from the Archive and may not gain Star equal to its sale price instead.
