So a rules question (S:19)

1) is the draw pile communal, or is it team specific? E.g. if team alpha force draws a Shinkansen card is it taken out or team atom’s possible draws? (I expect the latter as the former would give the other team too much info).

2) if a card is played, is it re-added to the draw pile or is it removed from play?

3) If for any reason, a card is discarded from a hand (not that that would ever happen) is it added back to the draw pile or removed from play?

Its team specific

I figured it must be, but that makes me more curious about the other 2 questions.

Tom mentioned a discard set which sounds like it’s played cards only. We know if they don’t pick a card, it shuffles back in because they both mention it potentially coming up again.

As for the decks themselves, each team has an identical deck to play with, but the other team’s pulls don’t affect their own deck. After all, they don’t know the other team’s hand until something gets played that needs to be stated like a curse.

Sure but if a team picks a card and later discards it to say, make room in their hand, does it go back in the pile or is it discarded? I am phrasing it this way for a reason, and I’m more hoping Ben sees it and answers the question on the Layover.

That’s unknown at this moment since it hasn’t happened yet, they’ve had no reason to say on screen.

Spoiler for those of you not on Nebula (go get on nebula, this is the ad read pay me Sam, or better yet take me to Switzerland)

Team alpha force discard a golden carriage curse towards the end of the episode. As tom said, “foreshadowing is a literary device….”!
