Newbie How to

Post by GrundyGirl »

Hi! I think I must not be understanding how to do something. Each I’m I have purchased cards that use the Guardian, I can not get them to execute. 2 were the purchase with compass cards,one was the money card. The error message is consistently “not a valid guardian” no matter which space I click on.

Any guidance?

What do you mean by "cards that use the Guardian"? Do you mean cards that have an ability that lets you defeat a Guardian without paying the normal cost (on the bottom of the Guardian card)?

And when you say "purchase", do you mean use?

Purchasing items does not use them. They go to the bottom of your deck.

Artifacts DO get used when purchased, but require a tablet to use from your hand.

In both cases, you actually need to be currently ON a space with Guardian to use these cards.

Does any of that clarify what might be going wrong?

In general, these questions are MUCH easier to answer if you link to a game and name the current move # so it's easier to understand the exact situation.

Thank you. I have no idea how to link to a game and find the move number!

For sure using the wrong vocabulary.

I mean use the card. I understand the hand management and obtaining cards. I’ll make note of the specific card names that I haven’t been able to make use of and add to this post. And if I can figure out linking, I’ll do that too.

I appreciate the detailed response.
