Questiong Regarding Location Special Abilities

By nethog, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

If I am at a location with a special ability, can I repeat spending monster trophies or gate trophies as many times as i want? e.g At the Science building can I spend **two** gate trophies to gain **four** clues?

Nope you can't.

Nope, you may not. Special abilities works as "instead of having an encounter, you may spend 5 toughness worth of monster trophies to gain xy" (Science Building case, but for others is the same). The wording is pretty clear. It's not "for every 5 toughness worth [...]". One encounter, one trade. If you want to trade more, you have to stay there for another turn (or several in a row, depending on how much you want to invest)

Ok thanks. That's what I figured but I just wanted to be sure.

You're welcome :-) if you have any doubts, asking is the best way for handling them :-)
