Rulings, Clarifications, and Reminders[]

  • When an investigator gains a Lost in Time and Space Condition, he resolves the following effects:[1]
    • He removes his Investigator token from the game board.
    • He passes the Lead Investigator token to another investigator, if able.
    • He discards any Detained Condition he has.
  • While an investigator has a Lost in Time and Space Condition, he follows the rules below:[1]
    • He cannot move or perform actions.
    • He does not occupy any space on the game board, nor does he occupy the same space as tokens or other investigators. This includes other investigators that have Lost in Time and Space Conditions.
    • He is unaffected by effects of Mythos cards, Reckoning effects, or any other game effects except those of his Lost in Time and Space Condition.
    • His Investigator's passive ability cannot be resolved and does not affect other elements of the game.
    • He cannot spend resources as a part of a group.
    • An investigator cannot give the Lead Investigator token to another investigator that has a Lost in Time and Space Condition.
    • If a Lost in Time and Space Condition effect would "spawn 1 Gate" and there are no Gates in the Gate stack or discard pile, he chooses one Gate on the game board instead.
    • An investigator that has a Lost in Time and Space Condition loses the game if investigators lose the game, and he wins the game if investigators win the game.
  • If an investigator becomes Lost in Time and Space while he is Delayed, he'll still right your investigator token during the Action Phase.[2]
  • Lost in Time and Space features some effects involving a spawned Gate ‐ all these effects are additional, they don't replace the usual spawning of 1 Monster on the Gate's space.
