A ruling is an official clarification on the way an ambiguous rule or card text should be interpreted.
An unscrappable card is sent to a scrap pile
Ruling issued on November 19th 2024
Situation:
I play the Neutral action Crash, which asks me to send a ship from my hand to my scrap pile. Can I choose a Rocketship, even though it provides no income and therefore cannot go into a scrap pile ?
Ruling:
The Rocketship is a valid choice to Crash into another ship, as the card does not explicitly require the ship to be scrappable. Since the Rocketship cannot remain in your scrap pile, it is instead placed under your arsenal.
This ruling applies to the following cards.
• Automated Scrapyard
• Crash
