More Casino Carnage Questions

[mikemayed]

Tried out the game solo this evening. I think I may be doing something wring (or was extremely lucky) as I accumulated a ton a increasing d6’s after visiting only 3 buildings.

Here are some specific questions I have:

So how many targets for shooting? Page 9 basis it on weapon, while the page 11 Stop refers to Rep.

For a building which can draw 6 character cards, does that mean you can potentially Search for Loot 6 times?

If you fight with Survivors, do they each draw a random card for their weapons?
And is this what you would get as Loot from Others, or is it a random card?

If you defeat survivors in combat, do you get two loot searches - Loot from Others and the regular Searching for Loot?

To pay your band members, must it be from your Leader, i.e. what the band members find does not count as payment?

Is Recruiting automatic on a successful Talk the Talk (limited by Leader’s capacity)?

Can an Active survivor ever shoot at a charger? It appears that charging can only be done when active. Unlike shooting, it does not occur as a reaction, so shooting at a charger can only be done by an inactive survivor. (I notice that in ATZ Evolution, Rangers and Zeus do a re-active charge on lower than Rep Shooting Damage.)

Thanks. I’m introducing this to my wife next.

Here are some specific questions I have:

So how many targets for shooting? Page 9 basis it on weapon, while the page 11 Stop refers to Rep. All right, someone does read the stop boxes.  Go with weapon. 

For a building which can draw 6 character cards, does that mean you can potentially Search for Loot 6 times? Yes, but must draw 6 Knock Knock cards, one per loot.

If you fight with Survivors, do they each draw a random card for their weapons? Yes.
And is this what you would get as Loot from Others, or is it a random card? What you get from them.

If you defeat survivors in combat, do you get two loot searches - Loot from Others and the regular Searching for Loot? You get one for the building and one for the NPC.

To pay your band members, must it be from your Leader, i.e. what the band members find does not count as payment? If they didn't find any loot during the Encounter you give them one. If they did find Loot, you don't have to give them anything.  

Is Recruiting automatic on a successful Talk the Talk (limited by Leader’s capacity)? Yes, but you do have a limit on the number of Band members.

Can an Active survivor ever shoot at a charger? Nope, as to charge you must be Active. So if the charger is Active the other side is not. It appears that charging can only be done when active. In this game yes. Unlike shooting, it does not occur as a reaction, so shooting at a charger can only be done by an inactive survivor. (I notice that in ATZ Evolution, Rangers and Zeus do a re-active charge on lower than Rep Shooting Damage.) Yep, Bugs too.

Hope this helped, have fun.

Thanks for the quick reply Ed. Yes, I finally learned to slow down and read the Stop Boxes.

One last question, which applies to a lot of games, so I think I missed it somewhere:

When the non-player side is active, how do you determine the target for their shooting/charges?

I assume that on the battle board, they attack whoever they are lined up with, but how does this work when they have more attacks than targets? This would be the case when they outnumber the player’s side or they have multi-target weapons.

Thanks
