That is . . . disappointing.  The Rivers are barely playable, but with the possibility of using Flood Waters to pile on the triggered effects along with KotHH gave me a small glimmer of hope.  I guess I'll just put them back in the binder . . . .

Thanks.

Somebody from our French board asked Damon stone who has answered the following :

"Yes, Floodwaters allows the chosen River plot to resolve its "then" effect."

However I completely agree with ktom and the previous Damon statement.

The main reason is that Flood Water 's "as if you had just revealed it." is only applicable to trigger the effect. And triggering the effect means step 4.1) Initiation. From Step 4.2), the effect is already considered to have been trigered/played. So the "as if" is no longer applicable when we arrive at step 4.3) Passive resolution. And that's when the "Then.." effect of Rover plot card kicks in. At that moment, the "as if…" from Flood Water no longer applies.

So, I have informed Nate about the contradictory Damon rulings and asked him to confirm the original ruling and he did.
