Rulings[]

If neither the Room deck nor the discard pile contains an Advanced Monster Room, this card’s ability is wasted.

If you do not have a Room with a matching Treasure type, you may keep the Advanced Room in your hand.

Strategy[]

This Boss' Level Up Ability works similarly to Cleopatra's Ability, but is oriented towards Monster Rooms. King Croak's Ability allows the player to gain immediate access to such cards as Liger's Den, Beast Menagerie and Monster's Ballroom. When Item Cards are being used in play, the player can even gain immediate access to Orcish Smithy and Burial Mound.
