This card is okay to bad in most cases. As is, it probably needed to be "fast:play only on your turn" to be viable.

That isn't to say it isn't without its uses. Spending one action to bar non-elites from a central location or a final spot can be great.

Card slots in this game are at an extreme premium and anyone who moves into your location will be "trapped" there as well until the barricade comes down.

With that said, there might be a build for multiplayer that relies on this card and sitting in one spot while your team exposes locations and your seeker uses cards like "In The Know" "Decipher Reality" and "Seeking Answers" to save actions on moving while the team is out exploring.

But even then, right now that kind of a "Base Camp" build is fringe at best. If you set up your base camp, no one will be coming in or out. Also, who will be your base camper? Minh likely won't get as many ability triggers tucked away from everyone. That leaves Daisy, Norman and Rex.

Given the choices, I would probably choose Norman or Daisy as they can run Ward of Protection level 2 and other cards that let you dodge the encounter deck.

I really want to like this card and maybe, if it ever gets an experience upgrade it will see some play. Until then folks, builder beware.

As the FAQ say, the game state is not "exactly reset", since Time Warp itself is not reset. However, the cost in ressources of Time walk should be reset, making it technically free.

(Though you can't use it if you don't have any ressources)

Another interesting fact is that if it cannot prevent an investigator from killing itself (FAQ: a defeated investigator is no longer in your location), it can prevent an investigator from accidentally killing another one (for example by missing an attack, or by using Delve too Deep)

An important restriction is that you have to wait the end of the action. Which means that you can Time Warp in the middle of the resolution of Delve too Deep, etc ...

Anyway, this card is probably very strong in high difficulty, where the chaos bag has a lot of variance. And it will be quite fun to use.

Not a review, more FAQ. Anwser from Matt Newman: Corpse Dweller will discard The Man in the Pallid Mask, since he is a humanoid enemy. Note that this does not count as ‘defeating’ the Man in the Pallid Mask for the purposes of chasing the stranger though.

"It's just a jump to the left

And then a step to the right

With your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

But it's the pelvic thrust

That really drives you insane

Let's do the Time Warp again

Let's do the Time Warp again"

Looking to use this in a Lola Barns deck, but I am not sure how it interacts with her role restriction.

Question: Can Lola Barns play a non-neutral ally that does not match her current role using Calling in Favors?
