Hey, it's my preview card! I had a lot of fun with this one, check out my preview video if you're interested.

This is a cheap and efficent enemy management tool that won't be able to deal with everything (watch out for Acolyte), but should help with your average annoying hunter. Very good card for solo as well.

Two particular interactions I want to highlight are Trish Scarborough and Power Word (the latter isn't on ArkhamDB yet), which lets you turn your riddle-solving enemy into a source of helpful clues or other convenience.

Finally, an (almost) unrestricted Parlay player-card. Nearest I can tell, this is the first card that would guarantee Parlay bonuses like Fine Clothes aren't wasted (unless a mission has only Elite foes, I know there's at least 1). Not nearly enough of a reason to run either/both by itself, but a nice first. — HanoverFist · 719

I love playing "big hands" seeker (or other classes with access to seeker cards) decks so when I see this card I don't consider that it's a wwillpower / intel (8) test but a potential (0) test (and a (2) would already be great).

For me the best use is on a hunter enemy in a Trish Scarborough deck: you now have an aloof enemy that follows you and give you an extra clue each round thanks to Trish abiity ! And it allows combo with Eavesdrop if the enemy has a low evade value (a Hunting Nightgaunt for example).

For the F.A.Q.: How does it interact with cards like "Serpent Guardian" which have a condition that loses aloof? We used this card on it after it lost aloof, so it gained it back, but the Guardian is worded as a constant effect.

Hi, IMO Riddle gives aloof to Serpent but the statement "loses aloof with 3 or more vengeance points in the Victory display" blanks the attachment, so it continues to remain without allof. — Piegura · 1
In simple terms: It gains aloof but it constantly loses it -> it cannot have aloof (grim rule XD) — Piegura · 1
As far as I know this doesn't have an official rules answer. Some card games do have rules about gaining and losing instances of keywords that's are binary but I don't think arkham horror is one of them. In the absence of an official ruling I would refer to "priority of simultaneous resolution" which states "If two or more constant abilities and/or lasting effects cannot be applied simultaneously, the lead investigator determines the order in which they are applied.". As far as I can tell the Serpent Guardian's text, and the text on existential riddle are two constant abilities that cannot be simultaneously applied. — NarkasisBroon · 10
Isn't there a "when an encounter card and a player card contradict, the encounter card effect applies" rule ? — TribulationsSolo · 1
