I never seem to get this straight in my head and I don't have access to the Core book at the moment, so I thought I'd ask here as it's easliy answerable.
If you play an action card with lines like this:
1 Hammer: Normal damage
2 Hammers: damage +2
1 Boon: 1 less recharge token
3 Boons: +1 Critical
How many sucsesses and boons would I have to roll to get all the effects of the card?

You cannot get all the effects. The success (hammer) lines are mutually exclusive, you do not get to "spend" hammers as you do with boons. The maximum result from the card is damage+2, 1 less recharge and +1 crit which you get if you roll 2+ hammers (rolling 4 hammers will not change anything since you can only choose one success result entry) and at least 4 boons (paying 1 boon for the recharge and 3 for the crit).
The GM toolkit has an optional rule if you want success to scale with the number of hammers, but in the core rules the above is how it works.
