I was wondering if there is any interaction between curse cards and bless cards, do they simply cancel each other out?

If so does this count for Yig's instant beginning of the battle curse? We found that defeating this end boss was relatively easy even with the curse. Do these guys get a bonus if you have 5 players?

Sorry for the simple questions, my group is pretty new at AH.

If you are Cursed and you get a Blessing, both are discarded. Likewise, if you are Blessed and you get a Curse, both are discarded.

I don't see why it wouldn't count for Yig. A good way to prepare for his fight is to be blessed at the start of it.

I think the wording sometimes causes problems, because sometimes you are instructed to draw a Bless/Curse card, and thus if you have the opposite both are cancelled; other times, and here the confusion usually starts, a card tells you you are now Blessed/Cursed. Does this last case mean just draw the appropriate card or does it mean to go immediately to Blessed status (if currently "normal" or even Cursed) or to Cursed status (if currently "normal" or even Blessed)?

I play it as being the same as the first case: if a card says "you are cursed" or "you have been cursed" and I'm currently blessed, I go to "normal" status (no bless/curse card).

Alright, I did interpret it that way, we took Yig down like a chump (he got one attack off) because we'd been doing some heavy fighting and were just short of shutting him out entirely. It's amazing what a few magic dusts and a tommy gun will do to a great old one.

we play it that way to. only move one step up/down on the blessing/curse ladder.

there are exceptions, at least one, a gate card something along the lines of "the world is upside down, if you are blessed you are cursed and if you are cursed you are blessed" which obviously indicate that you should change blessing for a curse or vice versa, and not just "you lose your blessing/curse".
