Some useless text because the review system ask that you write at least 200 words.

How useful the first paragraph of this "review" is, is debatable. All the more, as there are a total of 15 cards listed in the search, which || Jenny actually can't take. Naming them would make a much more interesting filler, to get to the expected lenght of reviews. — Susumu · 381 5/25/25

I stand corrected: there are another 9, she can not take. And one, she can not choose, and can not take in solo. — Susumu · 381 5/25/25

Eyes of the Dreamer

Wondering there is no Review on this, imo this Card is insane!

Here some facts on this Card:

It does not Exhaust after using.
You can always use your for Investigation, even if all Charges are empty. So this becomes an alternative to Sixth Sense
There are no downsides to this Card, if you compare it to Clairvoyance or Rite of Seeking and even cost 1 less Resource.
It has a build in triple Grotesque Statue.
Cards which reveals more Chaos Tokens like Grotesque Statue, Dark Prophecy, Katarina Sojka, the Olive McBride or Jacqueline Fine can be used during the Investigate Action to get 1 additional Clue.
The Charges it comes with, can be used for other Cards with Torrent of Power, Spectral Shield or Eldritch Sophist , if you have said extra Token Draw. The 9 Charges are a lot, if you compare them to Cards like Brand of Cthugha 4

It seems this Cards is insanely good at 0 XP and a must-use if your Investigator name is Jacqueline Fine (its probably her on the Art too). I bet this Card should have cost atleast 2-3 XP and will probably get an errata.

Having tried it, I agree with this whole review. It's so much better than Sixth Sense, it's not even funny. Even for a mystic not dedicated to clue gathering, it provides a reliable way to get clues (revealing 1-2 extra tokens improves your odds by a mile) — DrOGM · 25 5/24/25

After an investigator at your location commits a card to a skill test: That card gains a ? icon until the end of the test. (Limit once for each investigator per round.)

Does this limit apply to an investigator who commits a card or to an investigator who makes a skill test?

After an investigator at your location **commits a card to a skill test**, so the limit in on the double stance: A committing investigator to a skill test! ;-) — Piegura · 7 5/23/25

Quick question for any rules knowledgeable people out there. Do cards committed to tests get discarded from your hand after the tests end? As in, can I commit a deduction, discard it, put it in George Barnaby's Barnabasement, then commit it again from there to pick up another extra clue?

The cards you commit are discarded from limbo, not your hand. So you cannot place it beneath George. Check the rule "Limbo" (FAQ, section 'game play', point 1.23): While the effects of an event or treachery card are being resolved, or while a skill is committed to a skill test, it is neither in play, in the discard pile, nor is it in an investigator’s hand. For the purposes of rules clarification, this liminal state is called "limbo." — angesplayer · 56 5/23/25

Thanks! I definitely need to completely rebuild the George deck that I was going to play. — JamaicanLumberjack · 1 5/23/25

Dial of Ancients

This is an infinite charge generator. It doesn't even exhaust. What the hell?

Step 1: Be good at evading - or know someone who is - and stay close by.

Step 2: Include Eldritch Sophist in your deck.

Step 3: Profit.

(With e.g. String Along you don't even need to re-engage.)

A bit more detail - what are good targets?

sigh Gate Box sigh
Lost Arcana (also good in Luke Robinson)
Knock, knock - it's the Red Clock!
Wish Eater
Seal of the Seventh Sign
Grotesque Statue
True Magick

$3 and a great slot, to gain charges as a combo piece after a passed test. Seems fair. — MrGoldbee · 1493 5/23/25

I guess so. Compared to Eyes of the Dreamer and its counterpart it's not so great again, but these seem immensely strong and are of a different class. What baffles me here is mainly the lack of limits. — AlderSign · 407 5/24/25
