FAQ

Official FAQ

  • At the start of the game, place your Journey token (the one with the boot) face up.
  • When you play this, you get +1 Buy, and turn the token over.
  • Then if it is face down, nothing more happens.
  • If it is face up, you draw 5 cards.
  • So, every other time you play a Ranger, you will draw 5 cards.
  • It does not matter what turned over the Journey token; you could turn it face down with Giant, then face up with Ranger.

Secret History
