New to AH - Rumor: Good Work Undone ?

By player1097660, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

I started my 1st game last night and I came across a Mythos Rumor: Good Work Undone on one of my turns.

The card states:

Mythos Ability: When this card enters play, place 6 Clue tokens on it. Any player may spend Clue tokens during the Arkham Encounter Phase while in the Easttown streets to discard Clue tokens from this card on a 1-for-1 basis.

How does this actually work? Easttown streets is a street location right? So no gates can be at this location for me to be able to seal, thus using clue tokens in order to remove clue tokens off of the card. How else can I remove these tokens?

Thanks for any clarification.

Hi Wedge!

and welcome to the forum happy.gif The Easttown Streets are simply a street area, so no gates at all over here. You simply have to make your investigator move into the Easttown Streets and end their movement here. Then, during the Arkham Encounters Phase, they may discard the clues they possess in order to make the clues on the Mythos card to be discarded. Let me do an example:

- first round, 6 clues on the card
- both Ashcan Pete and Michael McGlen reach, during their movement phase, the Easttown streets. Ashcan has got 4 clues, Michael 3
- first to play is Ashcan, who discards all his 4 clue tokens. You remove 4 clues from the Mythos card. So, we have still 2 clues on it
- then Michael discards 2 of his 3 clue tokens, and doing this, he removes the remaining 2 clues from the card

Rumor passed, and everyone is rewarded

Excellent! Thanks so much!
