Sorry if this has been asked, Ives searched te forum and read the rulebook but couldn’t find my answer, exactly.
Newbie has a question: Are the Alternate Universe and Mirroe Quadrant icon the same?
The rule book explains the icons, but nothing that they are related (or not related). The rule book says regarding the AU icon “Cards with this icon are from parallel realities, other time periods, illusions, or even dreams.”
Then the green sidebar in the Seeding section of the rulebook says “The AU icon originally meant "Alternate Universe", and is referred to as the "AU" icon. However, as the game evolved, it came to encompass all cards from the past, from possible futures, and from various delusions (such as Barash's illusion). A separate mechanic was eventually devised for the cards from the Star Trek's most iconic alternate universe), the Mirror Universe, and so they generally do not have the icon.”
Which I take to mean, the MQ icon REPLACES the AU icon, so they are the same, so that I can use MQ using an AU doorway card.
Or am I wrong. Thanks for the help!
