Hi! Old-time AH player here who's just getting into EH. While putting my cards into the protective sleeves, I ran across the "carbine rifle" which starts with the words "Once per round..."

What, exactly, is a "round"? Can't find it defined in the rules or reference book.

Thanks!

Page 6 of the Rulebook covers what a round is ...

Playing the Game

Eldritch Horror is played over a series of game rounds. Each
round consists of three phases that are resolved in the following
order:

1. Action Phase: Investigators perform actions to move about
the game board and prepare for the tasks ahead.

2. Encounter Phase: Investigators fight Monsters or resolve
encounter cards on their current space.

3. Mythos Phase: The Lead Investigator resolves one Mythos
card. These cards often advance the Doom token, spawn
Gates, or raise other challenges that investigators will need
to overcome.

At the end of each Mythos Phase, the Lead Investigator may
pass the Lead Investigator token to any player of his choice.
Investigators then start a new game round beginning with the
Action Phase. Players continue resolving game rounds until
they have won or lost the game.

The back of the reference guide contains a quick reference of
these phases.

... The pages afterwards gives a more detailed breakdown,

Thank you! Missed that completely!

No worries!

I'd recommend that you get the PDF files ( bottom of webpage ) ...

... which will allow you to quickly search for keywords when your not sure of something. I actually thought there was no ref to "rounds" and "turns" was the key phrase they used ... ... so ur question gave me a reminder!

Thanks, Walts
