FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)
  • Q: What happens if an enemy with the swarming keyword loses swarming or is blanked, such as via Mind Wipe? A: Swarming only resolves when the enemy with the swarming keyword enters play. If it later loses the swarming keyword or its text box is blanked, its swarm cards remain in play and it is still considered a host enemy. - FAQ, v.2.0, August 2022

  • Q: Can I use a card effect that discards a host enemy without defeating it, such as Close Call? If so, what happens to its swarm cards? A: A host enemy cannot be defeated while it still has swarm cards underneath it, but it can still be discarded or removed through other methods. In such a case, its swarm cards would also leave play. - FAQ, v.2.0, August 2022

I asked FFG how to properly parse this card's Swarming X instruction (since the rules could be read as suggesting there is no "active investigator" outside of the investigation phase, creating ambiguity), and they responded as follows:

  • The “active investigator” listed on Cats from Saturn is referring to the investigator that drew the card, assuming an investigator did. It would Swarm X based on that investigator’s alarm level.

  • It would be possible for Cats from Saturn to enter play when it wasn’t drawn, so that is the case where it would Swarm X based on the highest alarm level among all investigators.
