Question

152 – If I am playing as Captain America with a Pool aspect. Captains Shield is a restricted item. And if I include laser swords from the pool aspect, that counts as 2 restricted weapons. Am I able to play side holster that will allow the extra restricted weapon to keep both the shield and swords out on the board? The reason I say yes is that side holster allows a second restricted weapon. Which I believe would fulfill the swords restriction. But since the shield is an item and not a weapon, I worry about being correct.

Answer

Laser Swords counts as two Restricted Weapon cards, so it does interact with Side Holster. As long as you play Side Holster before reaching the Restricted limit, you can have both Captain America’s Shield and Laser Swords in play at the same time.
