Rules FAQ

  • If initiative is tied, you do not directly choose who is first player, you only choose who wins initiative. That player then chooses who is first player.

  • The tie for initiative happens after all the relevant modifiers are checked (The Kingsroad, The Maiden, Ahead of the Tide, etc.). The Moon Door then replaces the step where you would normally check which of the tied players has the lowest power total.

  • In normal circumstances, a tie for dominance is not resolved. It simply means that no player wins or loses it. However, if The Moon Door in play, one of the tied players will always win dominance, and everyone else will lose it. Choosing a player to win dominance actually becomes mandatory, even if you would prefer to leave it tied.

  • Only players who are actually tied for the "highest total" can be chosen to win a particular tie.

  • If there is more than one Moon Door in play, their constant abilities cannot coexist. The first time a tie for initiative or dominance occurs, whoever is first player at the time decides which Moon Door has priority over the others. This choice then stands and is not made again as long as the conflicting abilities remain active (the first player makes a new choice if an additional conflicting ability ever becomes active). In other words, if two Moon Doors remain in play, are not blanked, and no other Moon Door enters play, the same player will always be able to resolve ties for initiative and dominance. However, that player is not forced to always choose the same way. Each choice is made independently of any previous ones. (See Priority of Simultaneous Resolution.)

  • The printed value of X is considered to be 0, so any character with the printed STR of X (for instance, Beric Dondarrion (TBWB)) is an eligible target of Moon Door's ability.

  • If The Moon Door is knelt by assault, it will still be blank at that point, so it cannot be triggered.

  • If The Moon Door enters play knelt during a challenge (due to The Gold Price, for instance), it is not considered to have been knelt during that challenge.
