Uses

• Flares can be used to generate light on the ground. For each flare dropped separately on the same hex, the intensity of the color grows. If equipped in a hand slot, a flare will make player glow.
• Flares can be used as a throwing weapon.
• When a flare is used inside a random encounter (lit and thrown/placed on the ground), it will make the encounter visible to all players on The World map, however, the moment every player leaves the map or someone picks up the lit flare and leave with it, the location mark will disappear from the worldmap. These are called Flare Traps, which can be in Turn-Based. Beware!
