Ursula has got the Key

Just released we were playing Key of Ys wrong all the time! You dont even need a complicated tool to protect it. Maybe we will continue playing it our way (every time you get horror, at least 1 goes to the Key no matter if you would place it on investigator or asset otherwise)... Key seems way too OP otherwise.

Thanks to the name of your deck i just realized Ursula Downs can play the The Skeleton Key. Which is pretty great as her seeker cards make her much more likely to draw it, than any rogue could.

@Django I don't think Skeleton Key is very good for Ursula. Seekers can naturally achieve high numbers of Intellect (with or without Higher Education) and the Key requires a lot of actions in order to work with it, a fact that Rogues can manage using action-generating cards (which Ursula doesn't have access to). It's also worth noting that the Skeleton Key makes terrible synergy with Ursula's ability. Ursula just moves here and there to make maximum use of her special ability. The Key requires you to stay in one location until you clear it, then move to another. It's just a no-no for her in my opinion. Unless you want to put it in your deck so that you can easily find it with Seeker tools and let other investigators make use of it. That's the only reason I would ever put the Key in an Ursula deck...

Thats why the The Skeleton Key is not in here. On the other hand, it synergizes a bit if you play Dr. Elli Horowitz and Calling in Favors.

True, i didn't pay much attention to the key's action cost. How about leaving it behind to other players can investigate high shroud locations? Can other players use the keys ability to pick it up?

Should not be possible because the key would still be under the control of the player that played it at first and only he can trigger that action. Its not like Shortcut that gives an action to the location.

Until now, I was assuming that other players can use the ability on the Key to pick it up, but the Shortcut example made me reconsider. Still, since it is attached to the location, it's not in your play area anymore and that makes me think that the action ability on the Key is available to anyone. There are other cases as well where an ability on a card that belongs to a player can be triggered by any other investigator, like Roland's weakness Cover Up and Jenny's weakness Searching for Izzie.

Weaknesses are added to a players threat area like enemies and constant treacheries, so all players can interact with them. Weaknesses are not controlled by anyone. This is explicitly stated in the rules. But player cards are controlled by their owner, so i think Schwaig is correct.

I guess this is handled like in other FFG Card games and controll of an attachment belongs to the player who played it.
