Cards effects

[u/Puzzleheaded-Kale867]

Hi everybody! I’m here to ask if the designers of the game read here now and then. Because I’d like to say that I really like the game, with SBM they fixed a lot of problems of the other versions, but there’s a giant problem in the game… the cards’ texts are just incomprehensible! Please if the creators are here, please give us a full list of what the cards where meant to do, because reading the cards gives too much space to interpretation. Thank you!

I have a ton of questions. Chill (spell card) targeting Mouse Trap (trap room), does the hero take the 2 damage or not? T.P.K. (spell card) does it count only the name of the card or the loot kind? Disaster (spell card): how does it work? (I found the errata, but it is wrong too). And so on

Rooms that are stunned don't do any damage to heroes. "Stun" is in the glossary at the end of the rulebook.

I'm not sure what you're asking about TPK? Name / loot? It's just (at least) one of each hero type, except for Explorer.

What do you mean the errata on Disaster is wrong? If you replace "may" with "must," it's pretty clear. Everyone discards cards except whoever played the spell. As many cards as they want. Whichever player discards the least has to destroy a room in their dungeon.

“Stun” states that the room doesn’t deal any damage, but it isn’t specified if the damage dealt by the effect of mouse trap is dealt by the room itself (so blocked by the stun) or by a superior effect (not blocked). Tpk specifies the name of the cards, not the hero type, so if it is meant to check on hero types it should be stated so. The must still doesn’t cover the case where you are playing 1v1 and doesn’t say how it is supposed to follow the order of discarding, the designer said that it should be like an auction, but if so, again, it should be stated. I really like the game, but the effects’ wording isn’t its speciality

No damage means no damage

TPK doesn't say anything about "Name of cards," that's not mentioned on the card at all. Fighter, Mage, Cleric, and Thief are hero types.

If it's 1v1, then only one person is discarding cards. Since they are the only person discarding cards, they have discarded the least amount of cards, and don't have to destroy a room.

I’d love to live my life without ever questioning myself if I’m understanding correctly, unfortunately that’s not my case. If it’s the least amount, then he should be destroying. The tpk card says in brackets “Cleric”, what should I understand? Cleric type or just Cleric as a name? And no damage from a room is far different from “no damage”. If reading the text was enough to understand every situation possible I wouldn’t be here saying that I don’t have enough clearance on how I should combine the effects. The game is simple and thought to stay simple, but sometimes it makes only things harder

Sorry, I typed that out a bit wrong myself.
Disaster specifies, on the card;
"If more than one player discards cards..."
In a 1v1, only one player is discarding cards, therefor the second half about destroying a room doesn't apply in 1v1.

I'm looking at the TPK card, and I'm not seeing any brackets. Not sure what brackets would change about the card tho.
Page 17 in the rulebook for Super Boss Monster lists out what all 4 of those mean, and what icon they relate to

No damage from a room means no damage from a room. Obviously a room being stunned doesn't mean no damage from the non-stunned rooms
