<p>Is it possible to regain a heart via a costume (e.g. the ghost) while being in Tokyo? I'm unsure because the rules state that you cannot gain hearts in Tokyo with the exception of power cards. But costumes aren't Power cards, are they?</p>

Is it possible to regain a heart via a costume (e.g. the ghost) while being in Tokyo? I'm unsure because the rules state that you cannot gain hearts in Tokyo with the exception of power cards. But costumes aren't Power cards, are they?
