Face cards and the Aces

Hi everyone, so I am looking for some clarification on how to use the face cards and aces. I know exactly how I want to use the number cards as they are pretty obvious based on the SRD but not so much for the face cards and aces.

In the SRD it says that the tokens are placed on the ace of hearts, which leads me to believe that it starts playing out of the deck but then I am seeing others saying it does not. Does this mean that you can’t remove tokens until the ace of hearts is revealed?

The SRD also mentions bonuses that other aces can give but doesn’t give examples.

As for the face cards, there aren’t any examples of what to do, but I have seen others talk about their being specific consequences that happen with the kings of each suit? Does anyone have any examples of this?

tanks for any help in this.

Hey,

So in the Wretched and the Sealed Library the face cards don't have specific functions, just the kings. They're always had, and having all 4 ends the game.

Starting with the ace of hearts revealed is optional as per those games' instructions, I should make that clearer in the SRD (I'll add it to the list for 2.0).

If you don't start with the ace of hearts revealed, you don't start the token countdown until you reveal it.

The other aces do give bonuses, but I didn't specify those in the SRD to allow people to work with their theme for what makes sense. The three I've used though are makikg 5s and 6s successes, removing a king from okay, and being able to skip a block pull. I'd look at what others have done with that for ideas though.

Does that make it clearer?
