New Player Assest Activation Question

By originterminus, in Arkham Horror: The Card Game

Hello all!

Sat down and played my first game of Arkham Horror LCG last night (solo) and had a frightfully good time! I was left with lingering uncertainty, though about something.

After taking an action to activate the supply on Flashlight, does the triggered Investigate count as a free action, or does it take up one of my action slots? The Rules Reference has me leaning toward the former, but I can’t shake the uncertainty.

You take an action to trigger the ability on the Flashlight, which is to Investigate with the bonus on the card (-2 shroud). So 1 action total.

Thanks Assussani!

Be aware that because you are triggering an action to investigate, you can't stack other investigate actions. For instance, you can't use Flashlight to make a Burglary investigation easier.

This is good to know. Noted.
