Was playing a round of Deadmen's Dike (Lost Realm) when an interesting situation arose during set-up: as per the stage 1B instructions, I revealed two cards, the first of which was a Dead Lord, followed by The Power of Angmar (side quest), which surged a Heavy Curse.

The text on Heavy Curse states:

" When Revealed : Attach to the current quest . (Counts as a Condition attachment with the text: “When a player plays a card, increase its cost by 1 if there is a card that has the same title in its owner’s discard pile.”)

As I am in Set-up and there are two quests in play, neither of which has yet been declared the current quest, what do I do with Heavy Curse? Attach it to the main quest? First player decides which quest to attach it to? Discard it because there is no "current quest"?

Has anyone dealt with this before?

Also, is it fair to assume that the effects of multiple copies in play of Heavy Curse stack (I got hit by that several times in previous games).

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

During setup you are following stage 1B instructions, so the current quest is the main quest.

Anyway, the choice of the current quest is done only at the beginning of the quest phase and finish at the end of the same quest phase.

So in the other phases the main quest is the active " via the quest deck".

The rules says:

Thanks for that, Emilius.

Should've known to check the rules insert before posting. :-)
