Exploring the Locations in Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein

When you arrive at this location, draw three cards from the cemetery cadaver deck. You can then choose any number of those cards (even zero) to resolve immediately.

After you’ve resolved the chosen cards, discard the remaining cards face down to the bottom of the deck. Keep in mind that the cadavers found here can provide stage III, stage IV, and bone materials, and some may cost one . If you choose not to resolve any of the cards, they will have no effect on you.

You can grab the top card and resolve it right away. And guess what? If your Reputation is a whopping 15 or higher, you can pay 1 franc to take and resolve a second card. How cool is that, huh? When you resolve a card, you get to choose whether you want to gain some expertise or snag some materials. Once you’re done resolving, just discard the card to the bottom of the deck.
