Card Of The Week #14: BAMBOOZLED!
DATE:

BAMBOOZLED!
Basic Set / R
Special / General
PLAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER A PLAYER EARNS PROMOTION POINTS. Spies discover
the warrior's goals and defraud the results. All Promotion Points the
player just earned are lost. Place twice the number of Destiny Points
into your pool.
USES:
This card can be great fun to torment your opponent with. As you can
see, its benefits are two-fold. One, your oppoent gets cheated out of
his hard-earned PP, and, two, you get some Destiny Points. This is
especially useful after your opponent FINALLY manages to kill your
super-pumped up, extremely high value warrior. Not only do you get to
crush your opponent's hopes of winning (not to mention his morale), but
you also get a nice amount of Destiny to GIFT OF FATE the warrior back
to your hand and bring him back out next turn. I love this game!
COUNTER MEASURES:
MISCOMMUNICATION!! The next best thing would probably be REVERSAL OF
FORTUNE, that way you will at least keep him from doing anything harmful
to you for a while (assuming your D is low when you play it).
RATING:
8.5
SUMMARY:
Unlss your opponent has a way to swipe your stolen D, this card is
basically all boon and no bane. Your one problem may be deciding wether
to use it after he kills your WOLFBANE HONOR GUARD or to wait until he
kills your GENERAL MICHAEL KELL in the GRAPESHOT GUARDIAN.
