-Items limit in the pack: the 3 items do include armor, weapons and accessories or not? The section "Search Cards" distinguishes between item, trick, event, party item, weapon, armor and accessories and mentions the limit only concerning items, but in the "Equip" section it the rules say non-trick items.
If you're wearing them, no. If you're holding them, yes. Trick cards do not count toward the item limit.
-to play ability card is an action?
it isn't. you can also only use an item during your turn.
-diagonal moves: applying the rule of adjacent spaces based on the figure base, these would be allowed as the figure bases bridges diagonal fields, but it seems to quick of a movement for the room tiles...
Diagonal moves are okay.-do the mice attack/defend/search/recover as usual when in water?
Yes. But they cannot do any free actions.-can mice move against the current?
Yes, but they must stop immediately upon reaching another water space.
-”Minions are not affected by water spaces in any way. ” That means they move over them as if they were normal spaces or do they avoid the water?
they treat them as normal spaces.-a cheese counts as successful attack/defense or only gains cheese for the figure that rolled it?
you can only gain cheese during attacking or defending, successful or not. and yes, for the side that rolled it.-”Inflicting wound”: some initiative cards show no heart symbol at all, do they die after one wound inflicted?
correct.- search cards for one-off use are discarded from the game after use or remixed into the search deck?
discarded unless the card notes otherwise.- special searches: do you have to roll the die to see if the search is successful?
always.- when are encounter cards discarded? How is it possible that there is no face-up encounter card on the deck when a surge happens?
they are discarded when a surge happens and there isn't one in the book. you don't draw a new one until you get to a new tile. So yes, it is possible to not have a face-up encounter card when a surge strikes. don't forget to move the hourglass up, though; that always happens.
- surges: where is a surge minion to be placed on the board? Where does it go in the initiative order?
if there are still minions on the track, place them at the bottom. if there aren't, reestablish the initiative track. if the minion that is surging is already on the track, leave the track alone.- Which minions are ranged?
the ones that show an arrow on their initiative card (Elite rats, vurst, etc.)- does a “recover” action heal inflicted wounds, i.e. remove heart tokens?
No. it recovers from a status card (i.e. stunned or webbed).- ”On a turn that a mouse is rescued, being rescued
takes up that mouse’s whole turn. ” That means no free actions, no abilities invoked, no movement?
Yep. Put the mouse on the tile and go to the next turn.-”A knocked down figure must spend its entire
move to get back up. ” That means it may perform a non-move action?
Correct. A knocked down figure can still attack and defend normally.-a charmed mouse attacks like a melee minion, but uses only the initiative card skills, so e.g. in case of Lily, she won't attack as she doesn't have melee attack skills?
Not sure on this. I would treat her as a ranged minion. Attacking with her base stats and using LoS.
