<p>The Crushinator has an ability that you can activate. That activation has a cost (destroying a room). When a hero enters a room, you can choose to activate any spells or abilities you have.

<p>Does Bom Boy Factory allow Crushinators effect come into play or was I forced to discard Bom Boy Factory and therefore not allowing Crushinators effect come into play? Take into effect Bottomless Pit and Recycling Center wordings also.</p>
