BASTILLE [M:rec.c:P] WINS OPPONENT'S PRISONERS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to storm. Whenever you win a challenge as a main
player, in addition to the normal challenge outcome the tokens in your
opponent's Prison that belong to you and your allies are freed to
their owners. You then receive the remaining tokens in your opponent's
Prison and put them in your own Prison.
History: The simian Bastilles have an extremely high level of species
solidarity. In any conflict, they devote a part of their force to the
rescue of any of their comrades that are held by the enemy -- and the
seizure of other prisoners to further their aims of Cosmic dominance.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Resource type power.
Wild1: When you win a challenge as main player, all of your tokens held in your opponent's Prison are freed to your bases.
Wild: When you win a challenge as main player, all of your tokens held
in your opponent.
Super1: When you win a challenge, you and your allies receive your tokens
that are in the Prisons of your opponent's allies. Other tokens in their
Prisons remain imprisoned. This is in addition to your normal power.
Super: When you win a challenge, you and your allies receive your tokens
that are in the Prisons of your opponent.
BRAWL [M:rec.c:P] MUST BE GUARDED Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to riot. Each player who holds your tokens in his
Prison must set aside an equal number of his own tokens from bases as
"guards". Guard tokens may not be used in challenges, nor do they count
as a base. When the number of your tokens that a player holds in his
Prison increases, that player must immediately either set aside one
guard for each new token or release all the new tokens to the Warp.
When the number decreases, the player returns an appropriate number
of guards to any of his bases (or to the Warp if he has no bases). A
player holding your tokens in his Prison may release any or all of
them to the Warp at the beginning of his challenge.
History: The Brawls recently gained their freedom from a cruel race that
had enslaved them for centuries. Any reminder of their long confinement
drives the Brawls into a frenzy. Their Cosmic captors often find it
simpler to dispatch their captives than to devote the resources needed
to restrain them.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Rules type power.
Wild1: Between challenges, you may call "riot" and indicate any player.
That player must either put as many of his tokens from bases into the
Warp as he has prisoners in his Prison, or release all of the tokens
he holds in his Prison to the Warp.
Wild: At the start of each player's challenge, if that player has any of your tokens in his Prison you may call "riot". That player must either put one of his tokens into the Warp or release one of your tokens from his Prison to the Warp.
Super1: Between challenges, you may take all of your tokens from all
Prisons, along with all the guard tokens the other players have set
aside, and put them in the Warp.
Super: Between challenges, you may take all of your tokens from any one player's Prison, along with all the guard tokens that player has set aside, and put them in the Warp.
CLAUSTRO [O:rec.c:P] CHOOSES WARP OVER PRISON Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of volition. Whenever any of your tokens would be
imprisoned, you may instead choose to send them to the Warp (or
eradicate them, if your opponent is the Void).
History: The cursorial Claustros run freely across the vast plains
of their home world. Confinement is abhorrent to them, and they often
say (in a sentiment shared by other races) "Give me liberty, or give me death!"
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Rules type power.
Wild1: At the start of your turn, you may take one of your tokens from each other player's Prison and put it in the Warp. If a player does not hold any of your tokens, you do nothing for that Prison.
Wild: At the start of each of your challenges you may take one of your tokens from any player's Prison and put it into the Warp.
Super1: Whenever any of your tokens would be imprisoned, you may instead
return them to bases.
Super: Whenever any of your tokens would be imprisoned, you may instead
return them to bases.
CLEMENT [O:KC:P] CAUSES CAPTURE CHALLENGE Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of mercy. You may convert any regular (non-capture)
challenge into a capture challenge before allies are invited. This
change may be overridden by the Victory or Death ruling.
History: The ethically-advanced Clements are revolted by the waste and
destruction of war. Their impassioned pleas for the preservation of life
are generally heeded by the war-weary races of the Cosmos.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Phase 2 - Destiny
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Rules type power.
Wild1: Before allies are invited in a non-capture challenge, you may
propose changing it to a capture challenge. All players get one vote,

Super1: When you change a regular challenge into a capture challenge,
if you are involved on one side as a main player or ally the other side
does not take prisoners if it wins. You do not need to reveal this Flare
until the challenge is to be resolved.

if you are involved on one side as a main player or ally the other side
does not take prisoners if it wins. You do not need to reveal this Flare
until the challenge is to be resolved.
CONCESSION [O:KC:P] COMPROMISE RELEASES PRISONERS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of good faith. In any challenge, any time before cards
are revealed you may call "gesture". When you do this, if either main
player reveals a Compromise card, after the outcome is determined that
player receives all of his tokens that are held in his opponent's Prison
(including tokens acquired during the challenge). Your power also applies
if both players play Compromise cards, in which case they try to make a
deal before the prisoners are freed. Players under Emotion Control are
treated as having revealed Compromise cards.
History: The benign Concessions are always looking for ways to increase
harmony and understanding. When any of their Cosmic opponents offers to
negotiate, they release that Alien's prisoners as a gesture of good faith.
Other species, shamed by the magnanimous Concession, match their generosity.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.

Phase 7 - Play cards

a player's Prison if his opponent reveals a Compromise. You may wait until cards are revealed to use this Flare.
ENTHRALL [M:KC:P] ADDS PRISONERS TO TOTAL Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to brainwash. As a main player or ally, you add the
number of tokens in your Prison to your side's total.
History: The Enthralls are ruled by a dictatorship which uses advanced
techniques of brainwashing -- sensory deprivation, drugs, television
advertising -- to utterly control all behavior. Using the same hideous
techniques, they turn captured prisoners into mindless machines that
battle their former comrades and advance the Enthralls' sinister plans
for Cosmic control.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Phase 8 - Reveal cards
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Combat type power.

your Prison to your total.
Super: As a main player or ally, add double the number of tokens in
your Prison to your total.
FELINE [M:KC:LP] CAPTURES LOSING OPPONENT Ken Cox (Lucre/Prisoners)
You have the power to capture. When you win any challenge as main player,
you seize the tokens that your opponent lost in the challenge (including
Zombie tokens). Immediately propose any legal deal in which you return
the tokens in exchange for random cards, Lucre, other prisoners, and/or
a base. If your opponent accepts the deal, he gets the tokens back and
may put them on any of his bases. If he refuses, put the tokens in your
Prison. The tokens of his allies go to the Warp or your Prison depending
on the challenge type; you do not deal with the allies. You must propose
a deal, and your opponent must respond, even if one of you is Silenced.
History: The carnivorous ancestors of the Felines captured their prey
alive, taking delight in its helpless struggles. Modern Felines use the
same techniques in battle, seizing their losing opponents and using them
as pawns in deadly games of power politics.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Resource type power.
Wild1: When you are not a main player, if the main players fail to deal
you may seize the tokens that they lose as penalty and put them in your Prison.
Wild: When you are not a main player, if the main players fail to deal
you may seize the tokens that they lose as penalty. Dictate a new deal
for the two players. If they agree to the deal, they get their tokens
back; otherwise put the tokens in your Prison.
Super1: When you win a challenge as main player, you capture your opponent
and all his allies. Propose separate deals to each player. Each player
writes down (without consulting with the others) whether or not he accepts
the deal, and all answers are revealed
Super: When you win a challenge as main player, you capture your opponent
and all his allies. Deal with each in turn, clockwise starting with your
opponent; return or imprison each player's tokens separately. You must
complete each deal before continuing wit
FINANCIER [O:Archi:L] LOANS LUCRE Ken Cox (Lucre)
You have the power to loan. Between challenges, any player may request a loan. You propose terms for the loan, which must include interest of at least one Lucre. You may also include a time limit by which the loan must be repayed. If the player accepts, you loan him the Lucre from the box. The total amount you loan before any challenge cannot exceed five Lucre, but this can be divided among several loans. When the player repays the loan, the principal goes to the box and you receive the interest. If you impose a time limit on the loan and the player fails to pay by that limit, you may put one of his tokens in the Warp at the start of each challenge while he is in arrears. A player with outstanding loans cannot win the game (Schizoid cannot change this condition). If you lose your power, you cannot make loans, penalize late loans, or receive interest, but players with loans still cannot win.
History: Unique among lifeforms in having invented the adjustable-rate mortgage before the wheel, the Financiers are well-positioned to supply the Cosmos with capital. The Financiers are always eager to make loans, knowing that less-disciplined lifeforms will inevitably overextend themselves and become easy prey for a hostile takeover.
Restriction: Use only in a game with Lucre!
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Resource type power.
Wild: You may borrow five Lucre from the box at the start of each challenge. You must repay the Lucre at the end of the challenge; if you cannot repay in full, lose five tokens to the Warp.
Super: You may "call in" a loan at any time. If the player cannot or will
not pay the entire loan, you may put one token in the Warp for each Lucre
he has borrowed. The loan is then considered repaid.
GAOLER [O:KC:PL] KEEPS OTHERS' PRISONERS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to confine. Whenever any player acquires new prisoners
(but not when they are transferred from one Prison to another), you may
demand all tokens other than your own. The player can either give you the
tokens, which you then place in your own Prison, or pay you one Lucre and
keep the prisoners.
History: Horrified at the barbaric conditions in Cosmic prisons (especially those of the Wrack), the Gaolers resolved to ameliorate
the situation. They have constructed large, sanitary facilities where
prisoners are maintained in comfort. The Gaolers now present their
Prisons as a useful and humane service for which all Aliens should be grateful.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners and Lucre
Timing:
Play at any time
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Resource type power.
Wild1: At the start of your turn, you may demand a payment of one Lucre
from each player whose tokens you have imprisoned. The player must either
pay or give you all of your tokens that he has in his own Prison.

take the prisoners.
Super: When you use your power, you may refuse to take Lucre and instead
take the prisoners.
GENEVA [B:KC:P] SALVAGES AND CHANGES RULINGS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of rulings. Whenever any other player plays or discards
a Prisoner Ruling, you take it for your own hand. In addition, whenever
you play a Prisoner Ruling, you may change it into any Ruling you name.
After you play a Ruling, you must discard it.
History: Feared by other races, the Geneva have in the past performed
acts which implied near-omnipotent abilities. If they ever used even the
tiniest part of their power, they could instantly seize control of the
Cosmos; but for their own inscrutable reasons they only act in a few
rare circumstances. Perhaps the Geneva view other races as children,
whose behavior must be overseen until they mature.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Play at any time
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Resource type power.
Wild1: You may use this Flare as any Prisoner Ruling you name. If Geneva

each Ruling card only once per challenge.
Super: You may keep Prisoner Rulings after you use them. You may use each
Ruling card only once per challenge.
HOUDINI [M:KC:P] ESCAPES FROM PRISONS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to escape. At the start of each challenge in which you
are the offensive player, remove all of your tokens from other players'
Prisons and return them to your bases.
History: Able to convert themselves from matter to energy and back at
will, the Houdinis are difficult to catch and harder to keep. More than
one of their Cosmic adversaries has confidently sealed Houdini prisoners
into a special prison, only to find it empty when they next looked.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Phase 1

planets. Place these "captured guards" in your own Prison.

challenge, take one token of the Prison's owner from any of his home
planets. Place these "captured guards" in your own Prison.
INQUISITOR [M:KC:P] GAINS INFORMATION FROM PRISONERS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to interrogate. As a main player in a challenge, after
allies commit but before cards are played you draw one card from your
opponent's hand for each of his tokens that you hold in your Prison. Look
at the cards, then return them to your opponent. Further, if any of the
cards you draw are Challenge cards, your opponent must play one of those
cards in the challenge if he can.
History: During millenia of tribal warfare the Inquisitors developed
highly effective techniques (mostly involving small bits of hot metal)
for wringing battle plans from captured warriors. United now in a quest
for Cosmic rule, the Inquisitors continue to use their skills to glean
information from their adversaries.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Phase 6 - Allies accept
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Rules type power.
Wild1: As main player in a challenge, if you hold tokens belonging to your
opponent in your Prison after the prisoner exchange, you may look at his
entire hand before cards are played.
Wild: As main player in a challenge, if you hold tokens belonging to your
opponent on your Prison after the prisoner exchange, you may ask him if
he holds a specific card (e.g., Attack 10, Wild Plant, Mobius Tubes). He
must answer truthfully.
Super1: When you use your power, if you draw more than one Challenge card
from your opponent you may select any one of the Challenge cards that
you drew. Your opponent must play that card in the challenge if he can.
Super: You may use your power once per challenge, looking at cards taken
from either main player whose tokens you hold in your Prison; if you draw
any Challenge cards, he must (if able) play one of those cards. You may
not tell other players the values of the
KNIFE [M:KC:P] GETS CARDS FOR PRISONERS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of sacrifice. As a main player in a challenge, any time
before cards are played you may put any of the tokens in your Prison into
the Warp and draw one card from the deck for each. The cards you obtain
in this way do not reduce the number you may buy with Lucre. The cards are
not subject to the Extortionist (you "officially" obtain them one at a time).
History: Backward and savage by Cosmic standards, the Knives hold bloody
rituals in which captured prisoners are sacrificed to their goddess of
battle. Other races would scoff at their beliefs -- except they seem to work.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.

Super1: For each token you sacrifice during the current challenge, you
may either draw a card from the deck or a random card from the hand of
the token's owner.
Super: When you sacrifice a token, you may randomly draw a card from its
owner's hand instead of from the deck.
OUTRAGE [O:KC:P] THREATENS PRISONERS Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of atrocities. Once per challenge, you may give an
order to any one player who has a token in your Prison. If the player
obeys the order, give him one of his tokens from your Prison; if he
refuses, eradicate one such token (as per the Void). You may order a
player to: invite or not invite a particular other player to ally; accept
or reject an invitation to ally; use or not use an optional power, giving
the order immediately after he decides whether to use it or not; or not
use a specific Flare, Edict, or Ruling (returning it to hand) immediately
after he tries to use it. You only order one action per challenge, and
the order lasts to the beginning of the next challenge. If a player
attempts to obey your order but then is prevented from doing so (by
the Magnet, Cosmic Zap, etc.) he still receives a token.
History: The Outrage hive-mind finds the attachment of other races to
their life-units incomprehensible. Its inability to understand
"individuality" does not prevent the Outrage from using the concept to
compel behavior it desires from its Cosmic opponents.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Play at any time
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Rules type power.
Wild1: When you must propose a prisoner exchange, demand that your opponent

Super1: If a player refuses your order, you may play this Flare. The player
may then change his mind and accept your order, but if he still refuses it
you must eradicate all of his tokens that are in your Prison.
Super: You do not have to free a prisoner when a player obeys your order.
PHILOSOPHER [O:KC:P] CHANGES CHALLENGE TYPE Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to argue. You may convert any challenge into one
of the opposite type with respect to prisoners -- i.e., convert a capture
challenge to a non-capture challenge, or vice-versa -- before allies are
invited. This change may be overridden by the Take Prisoners and Victory
or Death rulings.
History: The Philosophers have spent millenia considering the thorny
ethical problems of life and death. They are quite capable of droning
on for hours and hours and hours on the subject, and when they suddenly
shout "Ergo, killing one's opponents is wrong!" most Aliens agree rather
than admit they had fallen asleep and missed the point. Amazingly, the
Philosophers can do exactly the same thing but end with "Ergo, imprisoning
one's opponents is wrong!", which may suggest something about their reasoning.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Phase 2 - Destiny

SLAUGHTER [O:KC:P] CAUSES NON-CAPTURE CHALLENGE Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power of carnage. You may convert any capture challenge
into a regular (non-capture) challenge before allies are invited. This
change may be overridden by the Take Prisoners ruling.
History: The ethically-backward Slaughters glory in the waste and
destruction of war. Their impassioned pleas for the destruction of life
are generally heeded by the war-hungry races of the Cosmos.

SLAVER [O:KC:LP] BUYS AND SELLS PRISONERS Ken Cox (Lucre/Prisoners)
You have the power to peddle flesh. Before the start of each challenge,
you may propose to one other player an exchange of prisoners for Lucre.
You may either offer to sell the player tokens from your Prison, or buy
tokens from his, but not both. Stipulate which tokens are involved, and
the amount of Lucre; you may not specify more Lucre than the buyer has.
The other player must either accept or reject your offer. If he accepts,
implement the exchange immediately. If he declines to sell tokens to
you, nothing further happens. If he rejects an offer to buy tokens from
you, you may allow any of the other players to purchase the tokens for
the requested price (if several players wish to buy, you choose one).
If no one wants the tokens, or if you do not want to sell them to other
players, you may put the tokens into the Warp and draw one Lucre from
the box per token.
History: The Slavers view life as a resource like any other, to be
exploited for their own profit. Their flesh-peddling is both a blessing
and a curse to their Cosmic opponents, who can sometimes recover lost
comrades but often find the moral stain (and the price) too great.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners and Lucre!
Wild1: Between challenges, you may purchase any or all of the prisoners
held by one other player, paying him one Lucre per prisoner.
Wild: Between challenges, you may give this card to any other player and
purchase any or all of the prisoners he holds, paying him one Lucre per
prisoner. The other player keeps this card.
Super1: If a player rejects your offer to buy tokens from him, you may
purchase an equal number of tokens from the Warp for the price that you
offered, paying the Lucre to the box. You may select any of the tokens
in the Warp other than your own; put the tokens on your star.
Super: If a player rejects your offer to buy tokens from him, you may

in the Warp other than your own; put the tokens on your star.
TOLL [M:KC:LP] CHARGES FOR USE OF CONE Ken Cox (Lucre/Prisoners)
You have the power of fares. In each challenge where you are not the
offensive player, you demand a fee of one Lucre from the offensive player
when he first puts tokens into the Cone. If he cannot or will not pay
(he is allowed to refuse your demand), take any one of his tokens from
any base and put it in your Prison. You do not demand a fee from players
other than the offensive player, nor do you demand an additional fee
from the offensive player if he adds tokens to or removes tokens fromthe Cone.
History: Masters of hyperspace technology, the Tolls have built huge
Conic shunts which allow them to control interstellar travel. The Aliens
caught in their hyperspeed traps have a simple choice -- pay the Toll or
go to jail.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners and Lucre!
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Resource type power.
Wild1: As main player in a challenge, if your opponent holds any of your
tokens in his Prison you may demand that he "pay a toll" by freeing all
of them to you. If he will not pay, he may not have allies (except the Parasite).

VENDETTA [O:KC:P] IMPRISONS FOR CONSOLATION Ken Cox (Prisoners)
You have the power to punish. Whenever you are entitled to consolation
from any player, you may take all of the consolation by imprisoning that
player's tokens (thus, if you are entitled to a consolation of three
cards, you may either take three cards or three tokens for your Prison).
If you choose to take tokens, the player selects which of his tokens are
imprisoned, taking them from his bases. You are allowed to take full
consolation in prisoners even if the other player does not have enough
cards to give you full consolation, and vice-versa.
History: The Vendetta world was nearly destroyed by a war initiated when
one of the parties to a peace conference brutally massacred the other
delegates. The Vendetta remain scarred by the incident (radiation scars,
mostly) and punish similar betrayals by taking hostages, whose suffering
serves as a reminder to their Cosmic opponents of the danger of crossing
the Vendetta.
Restriction: Use only in a game with prisoners.
Timing:
Phase 8 - Reveal cards
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Rules type power.
