Rules Q&A

• Q: during a battle and my opponent use reserve to bring in a personality the battle with sulphurous swamp in play. does he need to discard?
  the step for reserve is from out of play move in home? and then move in battle?
  Sulphurous Swamps: Players discard a card after each time one of their own actions moves a Personality home. After a player's action destroys this Terrain, he discards a card.
  A: No, Reserve simply brings the Personality into play at the battlefield. No movement is involved, so no discard is required. Jon Palmer, "Sulphurous Swamps + reserve personality", 31 Jan 2015
• Q: Hello! I had a quick question about this interaction.
  If I'm at a battlefield and with Sulphurous Swamps in effect, play Stand or Run, and my opponent elects to move home bowed, who has to discard the card?
  We weren't sure because while Stand or Run technically generates the action of a duel, it's the opponent's action (choice) to move home.
  Cheers!
  Stand Or Run: Iaijutsu Battle: Your target unbowed Personality challenges a target enemy Personality. If he is unbowed, he may refuse. If he does, move him home and bow him as he moves. Destroy the duel's loser.
  Sulphurous Swamps: Players discard a card after each time one of their own actions moves a Personality home. After a player's action destroys this Terrain, he discards a card.
  A: Stand or Run moves the Personality home, so the player who played it discards a card. Alex Jones, "Sulphurous Swamps + Stand or Run", 28 Jan 2015
• Q: Will the trait on Sulphurous Swamps trigger multiple times if multiple personalities are moved home from an action? E.g. Relocating the Court in a multiplayer game. The wording "after each time" on the trait is not clear whether it means each use of the action and/or each Personality moved.
  Thanks!
  Sulphurous Swamps "Players discard a card after each time one of their own actions moves a Personality home"
  A: Per tuppence one card, per person, per trip.
  Rather more prosaically: the trait will trigger once for each Personality moved, each time that Personality is moved. Alex Jones, "Sulphurous Swamps and multiple triggers", 9 Dec 2014
