Heavy Strike OFF-SUIT
After playing any card (on-suit or off-suit), you may trash a card from your hand to trash the top card of the monster's deck.
Note: This ability triggers even when playing on-suit. If you play off-suit without using Heavy Strike, gain 1 Stamina (red) chip.
Shield Bash 1 STAMINA
Spend 1 Stamina after playing your card. Your card is trashed instead of being collected by the monster (if monster would win).
Battle Fury 2 STAMINA
Spend 2 Stamina after playing your card. Your card and one other player's card this trick are trashed instead of being collected by the monster (if monster would win).
🎯 Strategy Tips
  • Use Heavy Strike to thin both your deck and the monster's deck
  • Your high cards dominate tricks - win key tricks to prevent monster resets
  • Shield Bash prevents monster from gaining your card when losing
  • Battle Fury protects multiple cards from feeding the monster
  • Consider letting allies handle early tricks while you dominate late game

Pickpocket OFF-SUIT + 2 POISON
Spend 2 Poison and place them on the monster. If your played card's value is higher than the poison chips on the monster, take the top card from the monster's won tricks pile. You may hide up to 3 cards from hand face-down.
If monster reaches 10+ poison: Burn top 2 cards of its deck and remove all poison. If you play off-suit without using Pickpocket, gain 1 Poison (green) chip.
Toxic Strike 1 POISON
Add 1 poison to the monster without using Pickpocket. Can be used once per trick after playing your card.
Vanish 2 POISON
Spend 2 Poison at the start of a trick. Skip this trick entirely - you don't play a card and can't be affected by the trick's outcome.
🎯 Strategy Tips
  • Hide cards strategically to create voids for power activation
  • Build poison on monster to trigger the 10+ burn effect
  • Low cards make Pickpocket harder - time it carefully
  • Vanish on dangerous tricks or when you have no good plays

Blood for Blood OFF-SUIT
Discard 2 cards from your hand, then draw 3 cards. If the monster won this trick, gain 1 Rage chip.
