Talk:Play chess with the Boatman/@comment-105.229.197.143-20171024164743/@comment-72.235.19.148-20180319114954

The option just doesn't show up.

I was in the Mind of a Long Dead God to retrieve What Might be a Thunderbolt, and decided to farm Aeolian Screams to help advance my Scholar of the Correspondance quality.

Long story short, by the time I returned to London, I had Wounds 19 and promptly died.

At Wounds 15+, the Boatman just doesn't want to play chess with you, the option doesn't show up. I assume this mechanic is there to prevent people from wounding themselves too much if their Watchful isn't good enough for their Boatman's Opponent quality.

You can, however, still throw some dice.
