Special Rules
Card Subtypes
Thing cards have five subtypes: human, animal, zombie, location, and demon.
Action cards have three subtypes: command, ritual, and prayer
Sacrifices
In the game, the word "sacrifice" refers to any Thing card with the human or animal subtype. Note, however, that zombies can become "sacrifices" if the right card is on the field.
Playing cards by card effects
If part of a card effect is to play a card, the normal conditions of playing that card are ignored. In addition, cards played by another card's effect do not count towards the limit you have on playing cards for the turn.
Location cards
Location cards are special, in that whenever a player puts a location card into play, all other location cards in play are destroyed (unless a card effect prevents this from occuring). Location cards' effects can be used by all players.
Demon Cards
Although they are Things, Demon subtype cards cannot be played as a Thing. The only way a Demon card can be put into play is by card effects. If you begin your turn with a Demon card in play, you automatically win the game.
