Time Breaker
Frequently Asked Questions
When a player is allowed multiple plays on their turn, are there any guidelines for timing between plays?
Officially, no...
...BUT, when playing in any of our games which include interrupt cards which cancel a previous play (Surprise, Memo From Your Future Self, Stop Time) it’s good practice to play a little slower if you happen to be executing multiple plays, so that your opponents have plenty of time to play one of these cards, should they so desire.

Do wrapping and gap rules apply to adjacency?
Yes
Gaps and wraparound are taken into account. So if there’s a gap next to the TB, you could move your piece to the other side of the gap, and if they’re on a corner, being on an orthogonal corner would also be adjacent.

If the arrows out of the TRA work just like the arrows on the other tiles, does that mean they bounce you back to the TRA if the destination tile is crashed?
No
the arrows going out from the Time Repair Agency are like a combination of the arrows on the tiles, and the Move card arrows.
Like the other tile arrows, you can choose to follow one as your turn action, without having to play a card. However, directionally, and with respect to the Wraps & Gaps rule, they are more like using a Move card, so you would jump over missing tiles as if you’d moved horizontally or vertically, rather than being bounced back to TRA as if you’d landed on them out of nowhere from another timeline tile arrow.

Can I win if I have the Time Breaker in tow AND play the "Return to HQ" card?
Yes
If you have the Time Breaker in tow and YOU play the Return to HQ card, you can win. But if SOMEONE ELSE plays that card, your piece alone will be moved to the TRA tile.
