Another flavorful signature Weakness. Looking at the two elements, the effect and the discard condition, we get:

The effect: Tommy likes Assets, and he likes putting damage and horror on them. This card requires the discipline to use those Assets carefully, so you only lose one or two. It's best if they are cheap (hello Cherished Keepsake and Leather Coat). You might not want to play Agency Backup until you've already drawn this, but Tommy's weakness and his strength is that his draw is terrible, and you may very well go several scenarios without seeing this particular problem. Tommy's access to 0-2 lets you pack Resourceful and Scrounge for Supplies to get the discarded cards back into your hand.

The discard condition: You draw it and either pay its cost or shuffle it back in. A rookie move, you might say.

Taken together, this is a below average signature weakness, unlikely to inconvenience Tommy too much in most scenarios and will almost never be the main reason you lose a scenario.

A delightfully flavorful signature Weakness. Looking at the two elements, the effect and the discard condition, we get:

The effect: This only punishes Ursula if she doesn't do what she loves to do. Good counter-cards to this are Pathfinder, Fieldwork, and, in a pinch, Shortcut. Either of the Esoteric Atlases or The Truth Beckons can also help, along with the usual suite of tools for boosting investigate tests. Seeking Answers can let you target a low-Shroud (or empty) location and still grab clues. As the difficulty level goes up, failure becomes more likely, so Ursula may pack some horror-soak allies, maybe an Art Student or, if you are using an Atlas, the Eldritch Sophist, or invest in some Logical Reasoning.

The discard condition: You don't. You either keep moving and succeeding at investigations (note testless clue-getting won't help; you have to investigate (although you can do it at a location with no clues)), or you take 2 horror and shuffle it back into your deck to strike again. Ursula doesn't really favor a high-draw strategy.

Taken together, this is a below average signature weakness, maybe average in a scenario with a cramped map and a lot of enemies or at high difficulties.

Another "pick your poison" signature Weakness. Looking at the two elements, the effect and the discard condition, we get:

The effect: Leo loves allies, and he loves using them up. The worst case is if you get caught with a pricey or critical ally out (say Leo De Luca or Agency Backup) out and nothing in your hand, but Leo loves to cart around a lot of allies, so this is less likely for him than other investigators. He ought to have one of his meat shields ready to sacrifice. Charisma and a few lower-cost allies is a buffer. Guard Dog, Hired Muscle, or Treasure Hunter are cheap to play, have useful abilities, and synergize with Mitch Brown should you find him, and a "big money Leo" can easily pay the "drip insurance" cost for the "pay as you go" allies. Probably the saddest thing is that this card won't feed Leo's beloved Decorated Skull.

The discard condition: You draw it and either pay its cost or shuffle it back in. Pretty simple.

All in all, this is a way below average signature weakness, unlikely to cause even a significant tempo hit, much less tank a scenario.

This card is included in the "Return to: The House Always Wins" scenario. And it proofed to be very useful to us on a recent playthrough. Sure, there are certain tricks to retrieve the last VP from locations in some factions, like "I'm outta here!" or Dr. William T. Maleson, but we neither had nor needed them, thanks to a fail by 2 on this test.

A very easy Victory 1. 2 Evade means it doesn't often pin you, and its rules text is mostly negligible as most people don't plan on getting hit by an enemy, and then immediately spending clues. I'm happy to see this enemy and sad when it's not drawn in a scenario.
