Hadron Collider (Blue)

Crank

This enters the arena with 2 steam counters. At the start of your turn, destroy this unless you remove a steam counter from it.

When you boost an attack, destroy this. If you do, the attack gets +X

, where X is the number of steam counters on this.

Rulings

From the Bright Lights + Round the Table release notes

Removing a steam counter is optional. If you choose not to remove a steam counter, it is simply destroyed.
The triggered effect is not optional, you must destroy this when you boost an attack. The attack gaining +X is conditional on destroying it from this triggered effect. I.e. you don’t double up on value when you double boost with Twin Drive.

Keyword notes

Crank - As this enters the arena, you may remove a steam counter from it. If you do, gain an action point.

Crank is a static-ability keyword.
You can only gain action points during your own action phase. You may still Crank an item and remove a steam counter, but you do not gain the action point if it isn’t during your action phase.
