Question

188 – I wanted to double check on something, I’m playing as Deadpool against the venom goblin scenario with 3 main schemes. The sinister motives booklet says that when an acceleration token would be placed on the main scheme, place it on the one with the glider counter. But the the skies over New York environment says that player cards that effect the main scheme can apply to any main scheme. Do I get to pick which main scheme to place an acceleration token on with Deadpool’s hero ability? And with his montage resource card, can I pick which main scheme it’s effected by when spending it?

Answer

With Deadpool’s hero ability, the acceleration token must be placed on the main scheme with the glider counter, as the scenario rules state this is how acceleration tokens are placed. The Skies Over New York reminder text is intended to address only rules not already covered in the rulebook, and does not create an exception for player card effects that place acceleration tokens. With Montage specifically, it does not place an acceleration token, but instead checks “the main scheme” for how many acceleration tokens are on it; for this, you can choose any main scheme to check.
