Instructions for Hazard Cards:
Hazard Cards can be used with any standard deck of cards. There are enough
for two sets - either pick one of the two to use each game - or use two decks
with different backs and decide which is deck 1 and which is deck 2.
The Spades in deck 2 are intentionally left out for you to make up your own
Hazards.
How to use:
I Order of turn. When using Hazard cards, a turn goes as follows:
A. Draw new hand (if needed).
B. Take Lucre.
C. Draw Hazard Card and carry out instructions (if appropriate).
D. Retrieve token from warp.
E. Play "before challenge begins" cards.
(D & E should be reversed according to Matt and normal rules. ADF)
F. Flip destiny Pile.
G. Carry out challenge.
Remember, a turn consists of up to two challenges.
II What happens when card is drawn.
A. Match card to list and read. There are silly stories on the cards, and
it is fun to read them out loud.
B. If exact situation described on card can happen, it does. Carry out the
instructions.
C. If the exact situation can not happen, continue the turn normally.
Note: "Exact situation" means for example that if the card talks about an
external base on the system to the left and the player has external
bases on the system to the right, nothing happens. In all cases, moons
are specified as such and are not counted as bases for purposes of
Hazard Cards. Home bases and External bases are different, as is the
distinction between powers and Power Cards. A player who has lost the
use of his power(s) can be affected by a Hazard that refers to "Power
Cards" but is not affected by ones referring to "powers".
If after the effects of the card you no longer have challenge cards, your turn
is over. If you are left with no tokens, you may still take one token from the
warp to make a challenge unless either (1) the card specifically says "play
passes" or (2) the token will not give you enough available tokens to meet
the criteria of the card.
If the Hazard Card refers to something that is not currently in your set
(The Nothing Power, or "Revolt" or "Anti-Zap" Edicts for example) nothing
will happen as a result of the card.
III Safeties. Safeties are used to nullify the effects of Hazard cards at a
later time.
A. "Wild Cards" and "Draw another Hazard" cards must be safetied as they
happen. You can not wait to see what the next Hazard will be.
B. You can not use a Safety to nullify another Safety.
That should just about do it. If you enjoy using these cards, let me know.
If you come up with any interesting cards of your own, I'd like to hear about
them.

from occuring at a later time.
2. YOUR LUCRE HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED TO BE COUNTERFEIT. Return them

random. In a multiple power game, the player to your right chooses
which power is replaced.
4. COME ON SEVEN, COME ELEVEN. WILL YOU GET LUCKY OR WILL YOU CRAP
OUT? ROLL THE DICE AND HOPE YOUR TOKENS DON'T HAVE SNAKE EYES. If
you have 11 or more tokens in the warp, take 7 out to bases; if
you have 11 or more tokens out of the warp, put 7 in.
5. THE ANSWER IS 42. THE QUESTION IS HOW MANY MORE CARDS MUST BE
PLAYED OR DISCARDED BEFORE YOU CAN WIN THE GAME. You may not win
the game, even if you have enough bases, until at least 42 more
cards have been played or discarded.
6. SUFFERING TEMPORARY AMNESIA, YOUR POWER THINKS IT IS THE
DOPPLEGANGER. Your power becomes the Doppleganger for this turn.

HAVEN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE. Remove two of your tokens in the warp
from the game.
4. ASKED TO REPEAT A FAMOUS QUOTE, YOU ARE NERVOUS AND MISTAKENLY
SAY, "FROM SOMETHING NOTHING COMES." TAKING YOU LITERALLY, THE
PLAYER ON YOUR RIGHT EXCHANGES YOUR POWER FOR THE NOTHING. Your

WARP FOR EACH ATTACK CARD YOU HOLD, TWO FOR EACH EDICT, THREE FOR

cards get back to you, what is left is your new set of powers.
J. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! THAT SHRIEK
YOU JUST READ CAME FROM YOUR TOKENS ON A BASE THAT JUST BLEW UP.

A CATCH. YOU KNEW THAT DIDN'T YOU? YOU MUST NOW CONTINUE TO DRAW
