How do overlapping light sources interact if a Zone is made Bright by both a Flashlight and a Bright token in the same round, especially if one is removed first?

Official Answer

Overlapping Light Sources: Flashlight and Bright Token

  • Flashlights, Bright tokens, and Dim tokens always override printed light states on the board (p.11).
  • If a Zone has a Bright token, all spaces within that Zone are Bright (p.8).
  • A Flashlight makes spaces Bright as long as they are within its area of effect and line of sight (p.9).
  • Bright spaces immediately Reveal Hidden tokens and the Adversary. Once Revealed, these components remain on the main board even if the space is no longer Bright (p.8, p.9).

If Both a Flashlight and a Bright Token Make a Zone Bright:

  • The space is Bright as long as at least one source (Flashlight or Bright token) is present.
  • If one source is removed (e.g., the Flashlight at the end of the round), but the Bright token remains, the space continues to be Bright due to the Bright token.
  • If the Bright token is removed but the Flashlight remains, the space is still Bright as long as the Flashlight covers it with line of sight.
  • Revealed tokens and Adversary figures stay on the main board even if the space later becomes non-Bright (p.8, p.9).

Summary

  • Overlapping light sources are redundant: as long as at least one source is present, the space is Bright.
  • Order of removal does not matter for already Revealed components: once Revealed, tokens and the Adversary do not return to Hidden status if the space becomes non-Bright.
