Double-Sided Cards[]

Double-Sided Cards

Double-sided cards of the same type do not share a common back. They can be identified by the card type under the card’s name. Double-Sided Cards should not be separated by their traits. All double-sided cards of a deck should be placed together. When drawing from a double-sided card deck, players should draw from the bottom-up; if an effect requires that a double-sided card with a specific name or trait be drawn, players should search for the first instance of this card from the bottom of the deck up, and then shuffle the deck afterwards. When a double-sided card is discarded, it is immediately shuffled back into its respective deck.

When a player gains a Double-Sided card, he can only look at the front of the card. The card would describe when an investigator flips it, at which point he immediately resolves the back of the card. While a double-sided card is facedown, the effects of its front face are ignored and cannot be used.[5]
