Jasmine Question

By enbalmination, in Rules Discussions

Jasmine states that all Agrabah friends in your friend area gain +2 support. Since it says friend area what about when they are moved out of the friend area to battle or challenge, do they still get the +2.

We have been playing that they do but it says friend area.

They still do.
It'd be pointless to increase a Friends support this way if it always had to stay in the Friend Area.

Thats how I played but there are know rules lawyers that roam around here. Thanks
