GRIFTER v02  << BETA >>   PLAYS CARDS FROM DISCARD PILE

You have the power to Con.

As a main player, after encounter cards are selected but before they are revealed, you may declare a Con. Use this power to discard one Artifact, Reinforcement, Tech, or Flare card and then exchange the card you played facedown with a “hot” encounter card which you choose from the discard pile. After the “hot” encounter card is revealed, it is removed from the game. You may place the discard pile next to you and look at the discards at any time.
( Main Player Only | Optional | Planning/Any Phase )

WILD  Once per encounter you may pick one the main players and force that player to discard a non-encounter card of that player's choice. Then you may give that player one encounter card of your choice from the discard pile.
( As Any Player | Any Phase )

SUPER  Instead of removing your “hot” card from the game, you may stash it in a stack on your alien sheet. You may play cards normally from your stash, but the stash is not part of your hand. If your Grifter power is zapped, discard your stash.
( Main Player Only | Resolution/Planning )

History

Everything you've ever heard about the Grifters is a lie, especially everything they've told you. Better check your pockets and your planets; Grifter's probably already gone there and taken what they want!

Notes

The recommended experience level for this power is Advanced. This is a Resource type power.

 

Possible New Expansion Set Game Rule - COSMIC STASIS

If a COSMIC QUAKE occurs (Cosmic Conflict Expansion) and there are not enough cards for all players to draw a new hand of 8 cards each, a COSMIC DIMINISHMENT is declared and all players draw 5 cards. If there are not enough cards for each player to get 5 cards, COSMIC STASIS is declared and the game ends in a universal draw.
