Parley. Search the encounter deck and discard pile for a non-Elite enemy and spawn it exhausted and engaged with you. Draw cards equal to that enemy's combined damage and horror values.

Honestly an amazing card. There are obvious uses like finding the victory point enemies for the xp or just drawing a bunch of cards but I want to cover some other very useful use cases:

•Fishing out difficult enemies just before an act/agenda shuffles the discard back in to avoid drawing them again.

•Certain enemies want to be evaded not fought but this can be awkward if they spawn at a crossroads or location you'll have to backtrack on, by going to a dead-end and playing this you can ensure they stay out of the way.

•Getting the victory point enemy out of the deck when there is downtime so you don't have to deal with them later AND they spawn exhausted giving your team time to deal damage risk free of oppertunity attacks, relatilate or regular attacks.

•Enabling otherwise inconsistent clue getting cards like Scene of the Crime or Evidence! (notably able to find big enemies for Evidence! (2)) for when you really need the clues. Conversely being able to find high stated enemies for a card like Power Word early can allow you to get a lot of value or high health enemies for "Let God sort them out...".

•Certain enemies may have prey traits which are problematic for your team such as preying on your low or teammates to target their weak points, by drawing them yourself early you avoid these issues later for them (especially true for enemies which do things when they engage someone such as unavoidable damage).

A lot of these are minor use cases which aren't always useful, but considering you get all of this on a 0 cost draw card is amazing utility if you know what you're doing and long term will redefine how enemy management rogues go about their jobs and is a massive boon for guardians who get access to this like Zoey Samaras, Leo Anderson or Marion Tavares. Similar cards like Kicking the Hornet's Nest or On the Hunt may perform some of these jobs but "Where's the party?" does all of them and does it best I'd say.

I think I don't get your first bullet point - you want to avoid drawing an enemy by drawing it? This sounds like taking an attack of opportunity to avoid taking an attack during the enemy phase (although that's not how it works). So I suppose your argument is all about timing? — AlderSign · 345
yes it was more about timing, now I read it I didn't end up actually saying that my bad. — Riski · 20
Marion and Tony loooove this card. Tony was already pretty happy Kicking the Hornet's Nest, and now we have this. Trish and Alessandra also like it since their abilities rely on enemy presence. — StyxTBeuford · 13042
The enemy also spawn engaged with you so you can also pin down an aloof enemy with ease — Tharzax · 1
It also sets up easy Let God Sort Them Out — OrionAnderson · 111
I want to play this in Alessandra just to follow it up with a Stir the Pot. — StyxTBeuford · 13042
My fav is probably that it makes Waylay viable if you pull out an enemy with victory. — AlderSign · 345

Another fantastic card for rogues!

  • Parley Action!
  • You search the entire deck, not just the top 9 cards like On the Hunt or Kicking the Hornet's Nest. You can also search the discard pile which is something even On the Hunt doesn't do.
  • It spawns exhausted, so you don't have to deal with it immediately. Rogues have lots of tricks for exhausted enemies.
  • Drawing cards is slightly less useful than clues & resources, but getting 2-3 cards for builds that want to fight monaters is win-win.
  • It doesn't say you shuffle the encounter afterwards, but I assume that's just an oversight & should be included.

If you are curious. Search in the RRG says "If an effect searches an entire deck, the deck must be shuffled upon completion of the search." So yeah it's not an oversight. It's just that some card redundantly tell you to shuffle decks after a search. You should always shuffle a deck after a full deck search — NarkasisBroon · 10
