Title: Duration cards and seaway
Post by: lcra0825 on June 18, 2021, 01:44:54 pm
When you play the seaway you put you +buy token on a card. What happens if it is a duration card. Do you get the +buy for the turns while it is in play or just the turn you play it?

Just the turn you play it.  The official rules state "Four tokens give +1 of something: +1 Action, +1 Buy, +1 Card, +$1. These tokens go on Action Supply piles. When the player whose token it is plays a card from that pile, that player first gets the bonus."

So, when you play a card with the +buy token, or any of the other vanilla bonus tokens, you first get +buy, then you do whatever the card says, which includes the duration effect if it's a duration card

Yeah.  I found out the hard way that +anything on a hireling is not a great move.

In my first game of Adventures, on a playtesting copy before it was released, I had gotten Teacher on my Tavern Mat. At the start of my next turn, I had 2 Hirelings in my hand, so I called Teacher to put a +action token on Hireling so that I could play them both that turn.
