And then "Unload" means what exactly? Why would you want to unload a card. I think in your example you used it to double hit a card's effect or something. I didn't really get it. Thanks for responding so quickly. That's why I love your channel!
@WatchItPlayed2 жыл бұрын
@@tomworks8004 Hey Tom, some of these questions aren't so much rules questions as much as strategy questions, but let's see if I can assist. Trashing helps you remove cards from your deck that are weaker, or less useful to you, increasing the odds that you'll draw cards into your hand that are stronger or better. You begin the game with relatively weak cards in your deck, but then will acquire better cards as the game goes on, and not having the weaker cards clogging up your hand can be helpful, strategically. Now let's talk Unloading. I'm not sure if you've watched the original tutorial video for Dune Imperium that we did, or just this expansion video, but I'm going to assume you understand how reveal effects normally work. Well now, you have a new way to get access to reveal effects BEFORE your reveal phase - because if a reveal effect has an unload symbol, it means if that card is discarded or trashed (through some other effect), you get to resolve its reveal effect at that time. This might give you the resources necessary to do something extra on your turn, or set you up for later. Normally when you discard a card, you just lose it - now you get something when you discard a card with an unload symbol. Hope that helps!
