Why all the downvotes? If this answer were just updated to include a link to that BGG source, I'd call it a perfect answer.

<p>In the game <a href="http://gorillaboardgames.com/our-games/desert-island/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Desert Island</a>, the <em>Trap</em> Scavenge Card reads:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Expend when a Bear, Monkey, or Rat Fate event happens. The target
  gains 3 food instead of suffering the Fate consequences.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If multiple targets are affected by the fate, can the card be use to convert the fate to food for all of the targets?</p>

Can Desert Island's 'Trap' card be used on multiple targets affected by fate?

# Can Desert Island's 'Trap' card be used on multiple targets affected by fate?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-02-21)

In the game [Desert Island](http://gorillaboardgames.com/our-games/desert-island/), the *Trap* Scavenge Card reads:

> Expend when a Bear, Monkey, or Rat Fate event happens. The target
> gains 3 food instead of suffering the Fate consequences.

If multiple targets are affected by the fate, can the card be use to convert the fate to food for all of the targets?
