Hello, i put a Bear island in HoD, but in my setup, i have another Bear Island . Can i attach as a dupe?

The reasons why you can't are detailed earlier in this thread.

Stupid question but what sense does it make to play HoD and have the same announced card another time in your deck??

The HoD location is the safest it gets .. i don't see how you could get rid of it and what sense does it have to have it more than once?

Unless its non unique ofc..

I haven't seen fit to do so in any of the HoD decks I've built yet but the location (which the agenda requires to be unique, BTW) is vulnerable to plot effects. If your deck is built such that it really, really needs the location in play, a dupe can protect it from, say, A City Besieged or at least give you a backup copy to play if it gets removed by S&D. So there will be cases where people decide that it's worth it to have another copy in their decks.

Search and Detain will only return it to your hand anyways, so unless you simply can't play it that marshalling then your biggest threat it INT challenges until you do play it again.  Granted, then it is no longer "immune" and as such a dupe could come in handy - unless someone blanks it.

As a simple FYI, since people on Agotcards were having trouble believing that the HoD location is NOT a legal target for a Setup attachment, I went and asked it from FFG directly.

The full question and answer is over at CardgameDB in Q&TR Issue 18 here. 

The important part:

Because House of Dreams does not put the chosen location into your setup, but instead lets you start with the card in play at the beginning of the game, it is not a legal recipient for a Setup attachment.

Yeah. ;) 

Like I said, the only reason I went and submitted the question from FFG was people not readily accepting your answer on it… (and also linked them the page where you can submit the questions yourself) 

Teach a man to fish… etc.

Well, I can understand why people don't want to accept it. They really want it to come out the other way.

But, on the other hand, I never heard a good, logical reason for reading the "Setup" keyword rules as allowing you to put the attachment on a card that was not placed during setup, or for why the HoD location should be considered part of Setup.

Can i play a copy in setup of my location on House Of Dreams?. Normallly i know that you can´t play dupes, but when ffg said, the location its not part of setup, its before.
