Combo Bonus Card: Mercenary Mode

[Chonen]

I feel the rules on the Combo Bonus Cards are a bit unclear.

1. What happens if you draw a Combo Card but do not have a Combo Pile already?
Is t just a wasted draw? Would it be more balanced/not be a wasted card if it gave you +1 Explore, or continued your combo into the next turn?

2. Also, the Combo Bonus adds to the multiplier, but am I correct in thinking it adds +1 to every Infected in the pile AFTER applying the multiplier?

1. Unless you have an extra explore or a teammate to get a combo going, yes, it is a waste.

2. I've always taken it for granted that you added 1 to everything then multiplied.

I'm certain the combo adds +1 to every creature in the pile. Otherwise, +1 to the overall score is kinda pointless. Ill re-read them when I get home from work and update this post with my findings >,<

Ok, so, the combo bonus card reads:

"When this Bonus is Gained, add this card to your Team's Combo Pile instead. When you count the Decorations, you get +1 Decoration to each Infected in your Team's Combo Pile."

So, yes, every single Infected your combo has, gets an additional +1 to their worth. 1 Decoration creatures count as a 2 Decoration, 2 count as 3, etc etc.
