Just played my first game with the spyglass. WOW it was a game changer. I can not tell you how powerful this card is for action economy especially when it comes to randomized locations.
- check if a location is worth visiting especially if its a dead end
- better use out of fast move action abilities
- stay with the pack to investigate
- get more value out of free move actions like pathfinder
I won't go into details but SPOILER if you are going for the challenge in drowned city. Someone needs this card. it just saves you too many turns
I'll also say this card leaves a lot of ambiguity in "as if you were there". are you considered there for the 2 player windows? does that mean I can exhaust the telescope to look at a location connected to the one I'm investigating? if yes there a a lot of followup questions for other cards.
