We decided to try and take on the Yigster last night for the first time and got well and truly pounded. It was a 5 player game and Silas, Trish and Mark all went insane, although an outstanding moment was Lily dealing 4 damage to the Feathered Serpent using only her bare hands.
A confusing situation that I require some clarification on is that during the game the Doom track went to zero and the White Ship mythos card resolved itself spawning all the gates onto the board. Now the rules state that if you have to spawn a gate and there are none available then you increase the doom track by 1
^ If a Gate cannot be spawn because the Gate stack and discard pile
are empty, advance Doom by 1 instead.
Now in our case we would be discarding the Eldritch Tokens on Yigs card as Doom was already at zero but because we were playing with 5 investigators then we have to spawn 2 gates from a mythos card effect, so my question is this:
Should we be increasing Doom by 2 (or discarding 2 eldritch tokens off yigs card) or just 1 accordingly when we have to spawn these 2 gates and there are none available.
We reread the rule several times and concluded that it would be
Per gate,
so we were discarding 2 eldritch tokens off Yig whenever the mythos card Gate spawn effect was triggered. Otherwise the wording would be
If Gates cannot be spawned because the Gate stack and discard pile are empty, advance doom by 1 instead
