So I'm not into Starwars (yet), so I have no idea how the rules work (except for what I've heard on the 2c1c podcast and from what I can assume based on AGoT and MTG). But I still like to look at cards
Could anyone explain to me, in short, why there are both white and black unit damage icons etc?
The edge battle is a struggle for initiative where you and your opponent discard cards face down to add up their force icons. Player with the most force icons on cards in their edge stack wins the edge battle! They get to strike first and only their edge dependent icons work.
Oh, ok. Thanks mate, helped me a lot.
Could anyone explain why the authors of the game couldn't put it simpler?
Why this action/reacion thing?
Or there's some subtle difference I couldn't grasp?
With the way it's worded, you can trigger the reaction even if you don't get Backstabber into play through its own action (though I can't really think of a way right now). Having it all as a single action would make the extra damage more restrictive.
play and put into play are two different rules. This card says to play, so yes you have to pay for it.
thanks
Does its action work with kuat reinforcements?
Yep. Or more properly, Kuat Reinforcements works with Backstabber's Action.
