Official Rulings

  • No. Playing a Shadows action in this case will only use up one of the two play allowances, leaving one more to use. The Active Player can choose whether to use Com. Officer Kirby's or Captain Val Jericho's play allowance first, leaving the other open, provided Captain Val Jericho remains in the center of the battleline to grant the play allowance.

Officer Kirby, granting me a play allowance of a non-Star Alliance action, artifact, or upgrade for the rest of the turn. Captain Val Jericho is also granting a play allowance of a card that is not of the active house. If I play a Shadows action, does this use up both allowances?
