Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Do I shuffle all the Frostlander cards into the base-game decks?

No. Shuffle the 8 new Technology cards and 8 Morning cards into their matching base-game decks, and shuffle the 4 new Laws with base-game Laws L09–L16. The Dusk and Law Consequence cards are handled separately (p. 2).

What do I do with the Frostlander Dusk cards during setup?

Put the 14 Normal Dusk cards in the box with the other Dusk cards, and put the 8 Law Consequence cards with the other Law Consequence cards; they are not shuffled in during this setup (p. 2).

Do I remove any extra cards when playing a scenario?

Yes. For The Arks, remove Tracking Techniques and Advanced Automatons in addition to Hunting Tactics, and remove Shared Knowledge (L18) in addition to New Order (L07) and New Faith (L08). For The Ruins of Tesla City, remove Advanced Automatons in addition to Steam Hub and Lighter Scout Sleds (p. 2).

Can we use the Survivalist Society cards in our first game?

No. The Survivalist difficulty is intended for experienced players, and its Society cards should be used only after you have played and won on hard difficulty (p. 2).

Do the wooden Frostlander pieces replace the cardboard counters?

Yes. Replace the listed cardboard counters with the wooden pieces: these include the Food and Hunger markers, Hope and Discontent tokens, Heat Range indicators, and several other markers (p. 2).

How can I tell which cards came with Frostlander?

Frostlander cards carry the expansion icon, which distinguishes them from cards in the base game (p. 1).
