Clues represent information about the Mythos. Unlike Arkham Horror, you are now free to share them with your fellow investigators. However, if you you share them, you suddenly don't have it anymore; you just sort of forget. Derp.
The Tick-Tock Men are shadowy government style agents. They represent all governments and they represent no governments. They seek to keep the hidden hidden, and destroy information regarding the mysteries of the old one's. So where do these shadowy individuals show up? Washington isn't on the board. London perhaps? San Francisco? Nope - the middle of the Outback. Because when I think of shadowy government agents, of course I think the middle of the Australian Wilderness.
A King James Bible requires 2 successes on an Acquire Assets test to acquire. It costs more than a private plane flight. It costs more than hiring someone to steal the bible for you. It costs an equal amount as private hospital care, probably because they have a bible in the waiting room and thus 90% of their overhead.
For most characters, you will need to go into Debt to acquire a bible. Debt can result in you having sold your soul. For a bible.
Clairvoyance allows you to encounter clues on other spaces. But failed test results still apply.
