ABORIGINE [M:WWW] USES FLARES AS POWERS Ben Berman
You have the wild power. You use each Wild Flare in your regular hand as its corresponding power. You may not use the Wild Flare. If another player already has a power whose Flare you hold, he may not use it. If the power conflicts with
another power already in the game, the Flare is worthless.

Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Meta type power.
COUCH POTATO [O:Archi:L2] CHANGES CHANNELS Ben Berman (Lucre)
You have the power of remote control. When you are the attacker in a
challenge, after cards are played, but before they are revealed, you may
pay a Lucre to the box to "change channels." You move the cone to the
corresponding base one system to the right or left. Unless you end up in
your home system, the new defensive player is the system owner. In
your home system, choose the defender from players with tokens on
the new defensive base. If the new defensive player is allied in the
challenge, his ally tokens must return to bases. If there are no tokens on
a base that you switch to in your home system, there is no defensive
player. (The defensive total is the card total plus defensive allies.)
Otherwise the challenge is resolved normally with the new defensive
player.
History:
Restriction: Use only in a game with Lucre. Do not use in a 2-player game
or with Decoy, Deuce, Doubleheader, Knight, or Procrastinator.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Expert. This is a Rules type power.
Wild: You may "change channels" causing all powers, hands, and Lucre
to shift one position to the right or left. This card may be used only once
per turn.
Super: As the defensive player, you may pay a Lucre to the box to
"change channels". Move the cone one system to the left or right, and
proceed normally as per your power.
ENSLAVER [O:Archi:2] TAKES SLAVE TOKENS Ben Berman
You have the power of enslavement. When you win a challenge as the
attacker, you may take all losing tokens to your star disc as slaves.
Tokens in your "slave pen" add to your totals in any normal challenge in
which you are a main player. Also on each challenge, you may use one
power belonging to each player who has tokens in your slave pen. He
may not also use that power. When a player with tokens in your slave
pen flips your color in the destiny pile, he may lead a slave revolt. He
points the cone at your star disc and the challenge proceeds normally
with all slave tokens counting for his side. During the revolt, you may not
use any enslaved player's power. If he wins the challenge, all of his
slave tokens and those of his allies are freed to bases. If you win the
challenge, attacking tokens and their allies are enslaved. Winning
defensive allies get rewards normally, and losing defensive allies go to
the Warp.
History:
Restriction: Do not use in a 2-player game.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Expert. This is a Rules type power.
Wild: You may hold a "slave auction". Auction off tokens held on your star
disc one at a time until no one bids. Bids are made in Lucre, if a player
buys his own token, he returns it to a base; if he buys another player's,
he places the token on his star disc.
Super: Only the attacker's slave tokens count toward his side during a
"slave revolt". Other slave.
IMPERIALIST [O:Archi:2] EXPANDS HOME SYSTEM Ben Berman
You have the power to annex. At the beginning of your turn, you may
declare one planet base in another player's system to be part of your
home system. This planet is counted as an external base for the player
whose system it is in if he has tokens there. You may relinquish an
annexed base at any time except when it is under attack. You may not
annex more than one base per system. If you lose your power except to
a Zap, annexed bases are returned to their owners. Also, your external
bases count as home bases for the purpose of keeping your power.

Restriction: Do not use in a 2-player game. Use only in a multiple power
game.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Rules type power. Modified by Matt Stone
Wild: You may place this card next to your home system and treat it as
an occupied home base. This "base" may be attacked, but you defend
with a token value of zero. If this card is zapped, tokens on the "base" go
to the Warp.
Super: You may place a token on one planet you annex. Discard after
use.
MAILMAN [O:Archi:L2] DELIVERS MAIL Ben Berman (Lucre)
You have the power to deliver. On any challenge, another player may pay
you a Lucre to mail a card of his choice from his regular hand to any
player (including himself or you). He may pay 2 Lucre to mail 2 or 3
cards, 3 Lucre for 4, 5, or 6 cards, or 4 Lucre for more than 6 cards. You
take the Lucre and without looking at them, place the cards face down in
the "post office." When a player's color is actually flipped in the destiny
pile, or at the start of his turn (before he gets a new hand), if he has any
mail in the post office, deliver the cards to him. You may mail cards from
your regular hand to other players by paying the bank. For "express
delivery", a player may pay you one extra Lucre, and you must deliver
the cards immediately. If you lose your power, cards in the "post office"
are discarded.
History:
Restriction: Do not use in a 2-player game. Use only in a game with
Lucre.
Notes: The recommended experience level for this power is Novice. This is a Resource type power.
Wild: You may give away cards from your regular hand to other players,
paying one Lucre to the box for each.

want, paying one Lucre to the box for each piece of "lost mail".
MENTOR [O:E1.4:MP] TRADES POWERS Ben Berman

immediately after the defensive player is determined, you may trade
one of your powers for one of your opponent's powers. At the end of the
challenge, the powers return to their original owners.

a power. At the end of the challenge, their original powers are returned.
MORTICIAN [O:Archi:L] PRESERVES TOKENS Ben Berman (Lucre)
You have the power to embalm. Whenever another player loses tokens to
the Warp, he may pay you one Lucre or one card at random from his
regular hand to embalm the tokens. You must accept the fee, but may
discard any unwanted card. At the beginning of your turn, you may move
any tokens which are not embalmed from the Warp to the Praw or from the
Praw out of the game.

NOVA [O:Archi:L] CAPTURES STAR DISCS Ben Berman (Lucre)
You have the power to capture star discs. As the attacker in a challenge,
you may choose to attack the defender's star disc. No alliances are
allowed, otherwise the challenge proceeds normally; however, the
defensive player adds any tokens on his star disc to his total. If you win
the challenge, take his star disc and anything on it. You may return your
tokens there to bases. If you lose the challenge, your tokens are captured
on his star disc. While you hold a player's star disc, you control his
Lucre and any tokens he has on it. You may spend the Lucre, and deal
the tokens. Tokens and Lucre continue to be placed on the captured disc
in the normal manner. A player may try to regain his star disc from you
when he flips your color. No allies are allowed, and you add the tokens
on the star disc to your total. If he wins the challenge, he reclaims the
disc. If he loses, his tokens are captured on his own star disc.

You have the power to recycle hazards. Whenever another player must
draw a Hazard card, you may offer to sell him any Hazard card from the
discard pile for a fee of one or more Lucre. You may offer only one card,
and your fee is not negotiable. If he accepts, take the Lucre, and give him
the card he has bought. Once recycled, a Hazard card can not be used

hand. This is your "Sales bag." Once per challenge, you may offer to sell
any card or cards to any player who co-occupies a base with you or who
is allied on the same side of a challenge. During this "sales call," you
may reveal as much or as little as you want about the item(s) you are
offering for sale. The sale price must be in Lucre. Also, at the start of your
turn, you may discard any unwanted cards from your sales bag, and
replenish cards at the rate of two cards per Lucre. You may never have

SUPERHERO [M:E1.4] Chooses Own Power Ben Berman

TROLL [M:Archi:L2] CHARGES OPPOSING ALLIES A FEE Ben Berman (Lucre)
You have the power of tolls. As a main player in a challenge, each
opposing ally must pay you a Lucre. Your opponent in the challenge may
pay the Lucre for any player that he wants as an ally who can not pay
you. If a player is forced to ally against you, and he can't pay you, take
the card of your choice from his hand.

his allies. If he cannot pay you, he may not attack you, and must re-flip
the destiny pile if no other legal challenge is possible.
VICTOR [M:Archi] BETTER LIVING THROUGH WINNING Ben Berman
You have the power to gain rank. Whenever one of your tokens is
involved in winning a challenge as a main player or ally, it increases its
rank by one. In future challenges, each token's value is equal to its rank.

challenge when you are a main player or ally, its rank is returned to one.

WARMONGER [O:Archi] FIRES MISSILES Ben Berman
You have the power to stockpile. At the start of your turn (after you have
drawn a new hand if necessary), you may place Attack cards from your
regular hand face down on planets you occupy. You may place only one
card per planet. When challenged on a planet which has a stockpiled
"missile", after totals are computed, if you played an Attack card, you
may turn over the stockpiled card to add to your total. Once fired, or if the
base is lost, the card is discarded. Also, in a challenge, instead of
playing a challenge card normally, you may instead fire one of your
"missiles" (as the defender, this may come from a planet other than the
one being attacked). You need not take a new hand when you are out of
challenge cards if you have stockpiled "missiles". If you get this power
once play has begun, it there are any "missiles" on bases you occupy,
you may fire them normally (but may not look at them first). Any
"missiles" remaining on bases you do not occupy are discarded.

cards stockpiled on a base, they must all be revealed together. If you lose
this card, discard all but one "missile" per planet.
