A component action on a Unique Asset
Components, such as investigators sheets, Conditions and possessions, may grant an investigator more options during the Action Phase. Actions are preceded by the word Action: in bold.
- Like all actions, each component action can be performed once per round. Multiple investigators cannot perform the same action on a component during a single round, except for local actions. For example, if an investigator uses a component action on an Asset and then trades it to another investigator, the new owner cannot use the component action that round.
- If an investigator has two copies of the same component, he may perform each of those component's action once per round. For example, an investigator could perform the component local action of a Detained Condition of another investigator on his space as his first action; then perform the same component local action of a third investigator's Detained Condition as his second action. Similarly, if an investigator has two copies of the Dog Sled Unique Asset, he could use the component action of both of those Unique Assets during the same round.[1]
- An action ability on an Investigator sheet can be performed only by that investigator.
- An action ability on a possession or Condition can be performed only by the investigator who has the card.
- Some locations of the Antarctica side board have local actions which can be performed by any investigator on that space.
Local Action[]
Some component actions on Conditions and sideboard locations are identified as "Local Action" on the card or under the location in bold.
- An investigator may perform local actions on his own Conditions or if he is standing on a space with a local action.
- Any investigator on the same space as the investigator that possesses a card with a local action may perform that local action.
- A local action can be performed by each investigator once per round. Multiple investigators may perform that action during the course of a single Action Phase.
