Mykkel, do you want to take a Debt? I'm willing to take the Debt myself and buy the Conspiracy Theorist for you.

Otherwise I'll just buy everything else and people can argue over them.

No skin off my back if you want to just go your own way, Tendales, but I think our current location is a city space, so you can do both your actions here, then move to Arkham on my turn.

If Charlie Kane doesn't have anything better to do with his actions, I'd recommend he start heading to Tokyo. Without any heavy hitters, we might need the monster killing encounters.

Agnes is pretty good at killing monsters out of the box -- SoS with the extra two dice from her ability puts her at a base of 6 dice.

Just to clarify, Tendales could take a train ticket at the current location, because the city has train tracks coming out of it. But you can only get ship tickets at a port.

Technically, you can't do this. Finn comes later in the turn order than you do - as such, your actions come before he moves you to Arkham. I'll hold off on your and Finn's actions in case you both want to organize around each other.



Oh, hurr, misread the turn order. I'll take a train ticket before I leave then.

Also, I want the conspiracy theorist if I can get him.

San Fran encounters, as the city says, are more likely to offer improvements to Observation. However, there's a 'Generic City' option - usually drawn when you end your turn on a non-major City - and you do technically have the option to go for that, if you'd like. One is not strictly better than the other but the actual locations tend to have more effects.
