LAY OF TWILIGHT CARD

By Nevermore71, in The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth

Hello,

for the card : LAY OF TWILIGHT jme01_card_lay-of-twilight.png , can we discard up 4 face down damages and 4 face down fears??? (in totality 8 cards) ???? thx All.

It would be a very powerful card if it was a total of 8 and know FFG on being relentless about damage and healing, I would say it is 4 total.

Technically on how it is written, without a comma between the two items, it reads as 4 total.

Still a very powerful card.

That’s how I interpret the card too

I agree with the above posters. It's also worth noting that no other healing cards allow 8 healing, or have a wording that would imply something to the effect of x damage + x fear healing. In general the healing is either one damage category, or any combination of the two damage types up to a certain total.

I think the reason it is stated as 4 facedown damage and fear is because you can discard a combination of the two (definitely a total of 4), and not exclusively just one or the other.

Yep. Or would means a choise of healing either damage or healing fear. Not both. And means conbination of those (based on that ”and” is better than ”or” according to developers)

Clarification

IMO it would have been much clearer if it said "...up to 4 facedown [DAMAGE] and /or [FEAR]..."

I had the same question regarding even the basic Guard and Rest abilities. Really poor choice of wording.

Over at BoardGameGeek they got an official reply from Grace:

Basically you do discard up to 4 damage and up to 4 fear (totalling up to 8 cards removed).

Note most other cards say damage or fear . This one says damage and fear .
