Effects Cards

Another aspect of the game comes from the use of Effects cards.

There will be quite a large number of these in the game and they can change the direction and outcome of the game.

Effect cards can have either a positive or negative effect when played on their intended target. That target may be a Model, a Location or a Player as is denoted on the card. The positive or negative nature of the Effect card is shown by either a green tick (positive) or red cross (negative).

It’s important to remember that the tick or cross is relevant to the target of the Effect card, not necessarily the player who played the card.

Some Effect cards that target a model are used to give that model a new Ability. These abilities can enable to model to progress further in the game and may be useful in helping her complete certain Ambitions or be able to use certain Accessories. If an Effect card is also an Ability card it will have an A+ icon above the positive/negative icon.

I'll post a rules image and description of the Effect card soon, but in the meanwhile here is a selection of Effects that target the Models.
