Strange Power Flux Plagues City = instant explore?

By fortyseven, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

If we draw this card and decide to leave other world and come back to same place, does that mean we've explored them and can close/seal?

Cuz I was playing a game where there were only 3 gates left and there was an investigator in each corresponding other world..so we ruled that they've explored, closed/sealed them, GG

Well, if you had enough gates trophies, yeah, as you said, gg.

You ruled it right. That's the power of this mythos card. In your case, I don't call that luck. That's frakin BLESSING coincidence we're talkin about ! :D

You do, but, you can only close/seal in the Arkham Encounter phase of the following turn, so you will have to deal with any monsters on the gate(s) during the Movement Phase before the AE phase.

OK thanks guys

Yeah, I just bought the game last weekend and it was our very first victory.

We were kind of shocked that it came to an end so quickly considering all the trouble we had in the first game.

Game will get you back. Another game, you'll draw "a gate and a monster appears" at Indepence Square (which will be the only gate out) and then Strange Power Flux as Mythos card for that turn, resulting in a monster surge there, while your investigator does indeed return to Arkham (still delayed), he'll most likely have X tough monsters that didn't move away to deal with first demonio.gif . Here's to 3x Dark Young.
