Special Rules

Setup

The starting deck contains one copy per player of each Common, and one copy of each Rare.

Overflow Rule

When a player discards a card due to maximum hand size, a random opponent chooses and destroys one of their Things.

If they run out of Things before reaching their maximum hand size, they discard twice as many cards as they need to reach their maximum hand size.

The default maximum hand size is 5.

Death Rule

When a player is required to discard a card, but doesn't have any cards in their hand, they lose.

Thrown Potions

Potions are actions. They can have both a main action and a 'Throw' action; when you play a potion, choose which one to use. "Drinking" a potion refers to using the main action.

Clarifications

The effects of Ingredients generally happen before the effects of a potion. If a player has more than one applicable Ingredient, they choose the order to apply them in.

If a player has both Semi-Automatic Catapult and Aerosol Propellant, they may drink a potion without also throwing it.
