The Citizenry

FAQ

Only 1 Citizen can be discarded per effect, for example a Monster

moving to a location with 2 Citizens will only ever effect one.

Note that most Citizens can be spawned/moved to the same space

as Monsters without being effected. Only the arrival of new
Monsters triggers discard conditions (there are exceptions such as
the Diplomat).

Tip: Because the Airport has a Local Action, if its used as the
investigators last action no consequence will be suffered in the
event of a Delay, see rulebook Delayed.

discard 2 more Citizens each effected by Monster Spawns.

A: Yes. Even if the item is traded. Remove the Resource token
only if the item is discarded.
