Edge of darkness and some noobish questions

By Julia, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Rules Questions

Hi friends!

Some games under my belt, and a couple of questions for you:

a) The Tatooine Crash (objective from Edge of Darkness) says: "Reaction: after you refresh, capture the top card of an opponent's deck at this objective, if able". The "if able" clause makes me wonder. What can make me "unable" to capture a card? Some other cards interactions or? Am I missing something?

b) some enhancements grant to the attatched character some extra icons. Are these icons to be considered as having a white background or a black one? Sorry, maybe this was clarified in some FAQ but at the moment I have a very limited internet connection, so some "on-line" help from experts could be easier.

Thanks for help!

a) Nothing yet, but suppose they print a LS objective that said something like "Your cards cannot be captured". In that case, Tatooine Crash wouldn't capture anything (although in that case, the "if able" is not necessary either). I know of no card interaction at the moment that would make that "if able" relevant.

b) That depends - if the icons are in parentheses ("Enhanced unit gains (*).") then they are intended to be white. If the parentheses are missing ("Enhanced unit gains *.") then the icons are intended to be black.

Basically, Tattooine Crash fizzles if the target's draw deck is already empty (in which case, they've got bigger worries than a card getting captured - you lose if you have to draw but can't, so they've got til their next draw phase to somehow pull off the win).

Thanks guys for answering! Everything clear, then!

For question B, check the combat icons sidebar in the rulebook, pg 21. It's hidden there :-) (The above answers are correct as well, but just in case you wanted the reference).

Over My Dead Body can interrupt the Capture Reaction.

a) Nothing yet,

ETA Correction: Just re-read Over My dead Body. It's only Unit Action/Reaction, not objectives. False alarm.
