offensive ally, you may prevent the offensive player from gaining the

the base. Play as a continuing moon once revealed.

not talking or breathing in must hum loudly. Failure to do so is one
token per challenge to the warp, chosen by the moon occupant. The
moon occupant need not hum.

your bases and use it as a token worth 5 towards the total in
challenges. Once revealed, you no longer occupy the moon, and it
cannot be challenged.

clockwise around the hexes and send certain tokens to the warp.
Whenever attack cards are played in a challenge, the Moon Wraith moves
clockwise around the board a number of planets equal to the total of
the attack cards in the challenge. All tokens on the planet where it
hits go to the warp. The Moon Wraith may not be attacked if occupied.
If abandoned, it is a normal unoccupied moon.

you as 'Ed', or lose one token of your choice to the warp per
infraction of this most holy of rules.

and be immune to the effects of one wild flare. You may lose more
than one token per challenge.
95. Blue Moon (C) While this moon is occupied each player may make no
comment or gesture about a player's past game performance or future
game potential except to disparage his own and to admire that of
another. The penalty for a forbidden expression is the loss of the
player's next turn.
96. White Hole (C) At the beginning of each of your turns, place a
moon from out of the game into your system.
97. Super Nova (Secret) Reveal at any time. Has the same effects as
Nova (#12), but you may choose any planet on the board to affect with
this moon. Use once and discard.
98. Nomad (C) This moon is similar to the Moon Wraith (#87), except
that where it lands, all tokens on this moon occupy the planet, and
those tokens occupying the planet move onto this moon.
99. Evil Moon (C) While occupying this moon, you must always ally
against the player on your left. If he is your opponent, you may not
make a deal with him.
100. Void Wraith (C) This moon is similar to Moon Wraith (#87), but
tokens lost do not go to the warp, they go to the void. This is a
DIRECT trip to the void, so the Zombie and Boomerang wild will not
save their tokens. -- * Gary Huckabay * "Get bent, you liberal pinko
