Having up to 6 Gill Monsters in play means that more than one of them can be at the same location as Coach Marin. If this happens does Coach Marin get multiple bonuses to his Butt Kicking?
Coach Marin’s text sets up a binary question: either Marin is or is not at the same location as Gill Monster. If he’s with at least one Gill Monster, then exactly how many Gill Monsters he’s with is irrelevant; either the number of Gill Monsters is zero or more than zero. If he’s with any number of Gill Monsters (other than zero Gill Monsters) then the condition applies and he gets +1. The way Gill Monster is worded, if one of my Gill Monsters is at an outdoor location, it doesn’t specify which Gill Monster gets the +1 bonus, so does this mean that all Gill Monsters in play get a +1 bonus to butt kicking? It is an established convention that when a character card refers to itself it simply uses the title of the card (“Buffy gets +1 BK when . . .”). We should read Gill Monster in light of this convention and interpret it to mean that each copy of Gill Monster only applies its bonus to itself – the “Gill Monster” in the text of the card Gill Monster only refers to that copy of Gill Monst
