Event Cards
History:
I was first introduced to the concept of Hazards by Jack Reda. His take on it
was that a player would draw one of these mostly-negative cards when they wanted
to take a second challenge. Some reminded me of Comets and I started thinking
about the distinction between Comets, Hazards, and Special Destiny.
Parts:
Event cards (see below)
Setup:
My vision is to either have the Event deck seperate from Destiny or to shuffle
them into the Destiny along with Comets, etc.
Play:
Event cards cause things, mostly negative, to happen to the player who draws
them, much like an Edict. In fact, I also added two new Edicts (see the end).
Data Leak: Each player draws one card randomly from your hand. You decide the
order of drawing. If you have no challenge cards remaining, your turn ends.
Security Breach: Place your cards face-up on the table for all players to see.
This event stays in effect until you have to play a challenge card.
Plague: Treat as if a Plague Edict had been played on you.
Pandemic: Send to the Warp one ship from each base with 2 or more tokens.
Exodus: Send all the tokens from one base of your choice to other bases.
Overpopulation: From each of your bases with 5 or more tokens, send half (round
down) to the Warp.
Purge: Discard your hand and draw a new hand of 7 cards. You may proceed with
your challenge normally.
Power Outage: You lose the use of your power for the remainder of your turn.
Engine Failure: Your turn ends immediately. Play passes to the next player.
Foreign Aid: Receive one card from each player (their choice).
Upkeep: Pay to the bank one lucre for each of your bases, both foreign and in
your home system.
Ghost Money: Pay to the bank one lucre for each of your tokens in the Warp.
Economic Aid: Give each player one of your lucre. If you do not have enough
lucre, give what you can.
Jumping the Gun: Play a challenge card now, before drawing destiny.
Sunspots: Discard all your Edicts and Flares.
Universal Event: Draw an unused Event card. Every player, starting with yourself
and going clockwise, is affected by the Event.
Rummage: Look through the discard pile and take any card.
Regeneration: Take one of your tokens from the Warp and place it on a colony. Do
this once for each colony. No colony can get more than one token.
Spring Cleaning: You may discard any number of cards from your hand. If you have
no encounter cards remaining, your turn ends.
Mutation: Draw an unused power. If it is a setup power, draw again. You have the
use of this power for the remainder of the challenge.
New Edicts
Event Zap: Cancel the effect of any one Event card.
Redirect: Apply the effects of an Event or Edict directed at you to another
player. You are not affected by the Event or Edict.
