This deck is based entirely on events that happened (or, rather, didn't happen) on the Cult of Persabamini's Furthering the Core Mission topic board on Facebook. Feel free to join the group if you like what you see, by the way.
Rules
Each player draws 5 cards at the beginning of the game. Hold a steel cage match to determine which player goes first. Or, alternatively, have each player draw a card from the deck. The player who drew the card with the highest corner value gets to go first. Ties can be broken in a similar fashion. Then, shuffle the drawn cards back into the deck.
At the beginning of your turn, you gain two sanity points and draw one card (unless otherwise indicated). During your turn, you play one card (unless otherwise indicated).
The main currency of the game is sanity. Each player begins the game with 20 sanity points. If any player ever has zero or fewer sanity points, he or she is eliminated from the game.
Types of Cards
Goals (Color 06A) are played in the middle of the tabe and apply to all players. When a player successfully fulfills the requirement(s) listed on the card, that player wins the game. There can only be one goal in play at a time. When a new goal is played, discard the previous one.
Characters (Color A00) are played in front of the person who played them and give that player the abilities listed on the card until it leaves play.
Items (Color 060) are played in front of the person who played them and (usually) only apply to that person.
Locations (Color AAA) are played in the middle of the table and apply to all players. There can only be one location in play at a time. When a new location is played, discard the previous one.
Actions (Color 00A) are played, carried out, and then discarded.
