Favorite cards

Most cards here have either been rephrased or redone entirely. For such cards, "(adapted)" has been added to the title.

For brewity, a reaction is an action that may be played at any time, even if it isn't your turn, in particular in response to a thing or action player by an opponent. In addition to playing one action per turn, any number of free, turn, and card (re)actions can be played in the same turn. However, a turn action can only be played once per turn, only one card action can be played per card and turn, and only one card reaction can be played per card and event. If one event triggers another event, the same card may be called upon again.

A global action can be used by any player. "You" in the description of a global action refers to the player that activates the action.

Entity is a synonym for thing. Entities can be physical (can be touched), ethereal (has a location but cannot be touched), or metaphysical (does not have a physical location or is everywhere). Both objects and events are physical entities. An animate (moving but not necessarily alive) is a kind of object. A creature is furthermore alive. A humanoid is an animate of human shape. An intelligent is a living being of human-like intelligence. A human is an intelligent humanoid.

Conditions and additional costs for an action or thing to be played are given in square brackates ("[" and "]"). If an action or thing is cancelled, costs are not refunded. In particular, action cards that have their effects negated are still discarded.

When it says that something should be done by more than one player, then the default order is the turn order, starting with the player that was the cause of the effect or, if not applicable, the player whose turn it is.

Decks cards have been taken from the Vampire Cliché deck, the Time Cube deck, the Space Pirates deck, the Sleep Time deck, the School Chemistry Lesson deck, and the Artificing deck.
