Scenario Rules

Discover X

Discover is a keyword in The Ghost of Framsburg. The discover keyword represents the heroes' search for Fram's tomb, as well as the unexpected dangers they encounter as they travel to the different locations in Framsburg. When a location with the discover keyword becomes the active location, the first player resolves the following steps in order:

1. Look at the top X cards of the encounter deck, where X is the active location's discover value.
2. Choose 1 looked at objective with the Loot keyword and attach it to the active location as a guarded objective.
3. Randomly select 1 looked at card with the Hazard trait, reveal it and add it to the staging area.
4. Place any remaining looked at cards in the encounter discard pile.

If there are less than X cards remaining in the encounter deck when resolving the discover keyword, shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck and continue resolving the discover keyword.

Loot

Loot is a keyword that appears on some objective cards in The Ghost of Framsburg. Objectives with the loot keyword are valuable treasures that can only be discovered by exploring the different locations in Framsburg. A loot card can only enter play by resolving the discover keyword on a location.

If a card with the loot keyword is revealed from the encounter deck, discard it and reveal another card from the top of the encounter deck.
