Have a few questions after purchasing Survival of the fittest for yesterday's Labor Day gaming.
The rules state that the grave weapon deck gets reshuffled after the last card is used, and that the survival decks do not.
1. Do the cards from the survival decks go to the discard pile, or do they simply leave the game when they would be discarded?
2. The Sewer is not a Building, I assume Lights out cannot be played on it, is this correct?
3. Line of sight exists from the sewer to the entrance space and from the entrance space to the sewer, this means you can shoot into the sewer from the entrance spaces, and out of the sewer onto either entrance space, correct?
4. To use duct tape can you trade to a player that cannot hold the item you are trading them? For example Billy with the Fence Post and Rachelle with the Chainsaw, can Rachelle trade the chainsaw to Billy even though he cannot hold it? Would this work like searching and picking up an item you can't hold, or is trading different?
5. Can unique items be traded? Can the ones that don't take up a space be traded? Can you trade Johnny's jacket after it has a wound on it, or Rachelle's armor with it's armor markers? If Rachelle's vest can be traded, can you trade it after a fight in which it was used (but no armor token's removed, just the roll to do so) and used again? Can Jade use her journal to roll an extra fight dice then trade it and another Hero use the ranged attack option in the same turn?
6. Can you play Duct Tape on another hero, or just the one who draws the card?
7. Jenny cannot save Jade's Skateboard, correct? Can she boost the roll to discard a hand weapon that has been duct-taped (for example lose fight with Chainsaw+fencepost) or not, since it is not a break check?
8. Not a question, but seriously Jenny and Billy are so much better with survival of the fittest. (pitchfork+garden shears on Jenny w/ the torch, that's ridiculous, also Jeb's lucky wrench with a baseball bat is Jennytastic)
9. Well-stocked buildings states you may take the named card from the hero deck, does this mean that the gun shop they can take any ammo or gun card, or since the "gun" is generic and not a "named card" could you only use well stocked on the ammo card? Same obviously for first aid cards. This was a big fight because of the supply token cards. Players new to playing zombies tend to get hostile. So far our house rule has been that you go through and take the first one in the hero draw pile for the gun shop and hospital when using the well-stocked option. It seems a little too powerful for a mod with a cost of one.
Possibly more to follow. So weird I normally find all my answers on the expanded rules posts or FAQs, these I haven't found.
