If multiple people in multi-player are playing with NT females, and let's just say that 3 players each have the SAME 3 NT females in play when Susanna is used, how many cards does she look at?

Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: White • Ability: 1 / X • Class: • Special Ability: Look at the top X cards of deck. May add one to hand. Place the rest beneath deck. Cannot be negated. • Play As: Search the top X cards of deck for any one card. Holder may place it in hand. Place the rest beneath deck. Cannot be negated. • Identifiers: NT Female Human, X = the number of female N.T. Heroes in play. • Verse: Luke 8:3 • Availability: Thesaurus ex Preteritus booster packs ()

Hmmm... Interesting. Thanks, Mitch!

You may be overthinking this Ken. These situations are looking for cards, not actual people. Duplicate rules are not in effect when the cards are in different territories. The fact that you are even asking this question indicates this reality.

Frankly I find it more disturbing that so many people in your group are playing Garden Tomb.

That would make for an interesting game.

We played a couple 5-person games Saturday, and 3 had The Garden Tomb. However, it didn't even matter in many of the games because there were so many territories with defenses, so often the rescue attempt would be: "I'm ignoring everything... except gold, gray, black, and pale green..."

Is Susanna considered a search ability?

Nope, I believe it was determined to be a reveal ability.

It's not a Reveal ability, it's a Look ability (the other players do not see the cards).  And both are not Searches, so Susanna gets around Nazareth and Hezzy's Ring.

It was actually 3 Gardenciples decks, and mine was the only traditional variety (i.e.: speed defense; the other two had actual defenses).

Definitely lead to some interesting games.
