Sure, on RRG1.6 page 27 under Minion Section
It explicitly states that
Hi @Average4PlayersGame,
Thank you for your response and for providing the reference from RRG1.6, page 27.
Upon reviewing the rule you mentioned, it states that if a minion engages a player during an enemy activation where all minions engaged with that player are instructed to activate, the newly-engaged minion will also activate. However, the description of card “01189” states: “The villain and each minion engaged with you attacks you.”
In our current game engine, “The villain and each minion engaged with you attacks you” and “enemy activation” are treated as distinct scenarios. Therefore, we believe that “01189” should not function in the same way as an “enemy activation.”
Additionally, we have a question regarding the “enemy activation” window, which allows for determining the order of activation. Should we implement a similar window for “01189”? We could not find any references in the FAQ regarding this.
If you have any further insights or references that could help clarify this situation, please share them with us. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve the game.
Thank you for your understanding!
Actually, "When an enemy attacks you" and "activation" are considered the same thing.
RRG 1.6 page 6 under Activation section.
There are two types of enemy activations: an attack activation and a scheme activation. Whenever an enemy attacks or schemes, it is considered to have activated.
• During step two of the villain phase, the villain activates once per player, in player order. If the identity of the player resolving the activation is in hero form, the villain initiates an attack against that player’s identity. If the identity of the player resolving the activation is in alter-ego form, the villain initiates a scheme.
• During step two of the villain phase, each minion engaged with a player activates against that player. If the identity of the engaged player is in hero form, the minion initiates an attack against that player’s identity. If the identity of the engaged player is in alter-ego form, the minion initiates a scheme.
• Each time the villain activates, give the villain one boost card from the encounter deck for that activation.
• Some card abilities can also cause enemies to attack or scheme. These are also considered activations.
• If multiple enemies activate against you simultaneously, resolve the villain’s activation first (if any) in the order of your choice, followed by minion activations in the order of your choice.
• If an activating minion leaves play, that minion’s activation ends immediately, and no further steps of that activation resolve.
• An effect that initiates an enemy activation is considered resolved after that activation has fully resolved.
• If an effect initiates an activation during the resolution of another activation, the newly initiated activation resolves after the current activation has finished resolving.
» » If multiple activations are initiated this way, the first player decides the order in which they are resolved.
I have the highlight sentences that involve in this matter in bold text. Hope this clarifies my point.
Hi @Average4PlayersGame,
Thank you for your clarification.
If I understand correctly, the description of card “01189” states, “The villain and each minion engaged with you attacks you,” which can be interpreted as “The villain and each minion activate against you.”
Based on the rule you provided:
If a minion engages a player during an enemy activation in which all minions engaged with that player are instructed to activate, the newly-engaged minion will also activate.
This means that if a minion is put into play while resolving “01189,” it should also activate.
We will address this issue in the next version.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
