5 Automatic Failure. A roll of 11 or 12 results in automatic failure of the attack, no matter how much Power was involved.
have transferable power. If a Group has two Power numbers separated by a slash (like 5/2), the second number is its transferable power. If a Group does not attack during a turn, it may use its transferable power to aid an attack made by any other Group in its Power Structure. Any number of Groups may aid one attack by adding Transferable Power. However, any one Group may partici- pate in only one attack per turn. (Exception: The Special Ability of the UFOs lets them participate in two attacks per turn.) Example: A Group with a power of 6, aided by another Group with a transferable power of 4, is attacking a Group with a resistance of 3. The attacker has a total power of 10 (6 plus 4), and will have to roll a 7 or less (10 minus 3) to succeed. When an attack is announced, all transferable power to be used in that attack must be announced before any money is spent (see below) to support the attack. No transferable power may be added in the middle of the attack. Alignment of the Group(s) transferring power does not matter.
trolled by an opponent, it may be harder to control. The closer it is to the Illuminati who control it, the more of a bonus it gets to Resistance (or to Power if someone tries to destroy it). If it is adjacent, it gets a +10! If it is one Group away, it gets a +5. If it is two Groups away, it gets a +2. Alignments. The alignments of the attacking and defend- ing Groups are also important. Identical alignments make control easier; opposed alignments make it harder. If the Groups have any identical alignments, add 4 to the attack- er’s effective Power for each identical alignment. If they have any opposite alignments, subtract 4 for each. Example: A Weird, Communist Group is trying to control a Straight, Government Group. Two sets of opposite align- ments subtract 8 from the attacking power on this attack.
on the card) will help them attack or defend against certain opponents.
improve his chances by using some of his money in the attack. Each MB spent (returned to the bank) adds one point of Power to that attack. However, all Transferable Power to be used must be added and announced before any money is spent.
Attacking money may be spent from both the attacking Group’s treasury and the Illuminati treasury. Other Groups in the Power Structure cannot spend money to aid the attack.
might not roll a 7 or less. So he spent 3 MB. Now he needs to roll a 10 or less, which is much easier. Once the roll needed to succeed has reached 10, addi- tional spending will not improve the attacker’s odds; an 11 or 12 always fails. But additional money or power can still be useful. For instance, if an attacker uses enough money and power to exceed the target’s resistance by 20, the defender would have to spend 20 MB to get the attacking roll back down to zero again! Spending Money To Defend. If the defending Group is controlled by another player, the defender may counter an attack by spending some of his own money. Resistance to that attack will increase by two for each MB spent from the defending Group’s treasury, and by one for each MB spent from his Illuminati treasury. Other Groups cannot partici- pate. All money spent goes immediately to the bank.
the defending Group. He spends it all. It counts double, so instead of a 10, the attacker now needs to roll a 4. The attacker may then commit more money to offset the defender’s spending.
Resistance bonuses for location in power structure. Note that Groups more than 3 away from the Illuminati get no bonus at all.
Continued Spending. The attacker and defender can each go back and forth, putting in more money, as long as they are able. When no player is willing to spend more money to affect the attack, the dice are rolled to determine the result. Remember: a roll of 11 or 12 results in auto matic failure, no mat- ter how much power or money is used in the attack.
attack fails, the defending Group remains where it was. If an Attack to Control is suc- cessful, the target Group is captured and added to the attacking player’s Power Structure. It is placed next to its captor, with its inward-pointing arrow next to an outward-pointing arrow of the capturing Group, which becomes its new “master.” The controlled Group is now called a “puppet.” Puppets may then capture puppets of their own, and so on!
If the captured Group already had puppets of its own, they are also captured. When placed in the attacker’s Power Structure, they should keep the same position, relative to their own master, that they had originally. If that is not possible because of overlaps with cards the attacker already has, he may rearrange any new cards that overlap, as long as they are still controlled by the same Group. New Groups which still cannot fit are dropped and become uncontrolled. Half of the money remaining in the captured Groups’ treasuries (round down) goes with them to the new owner; the rest is returned to the bank. The Group which attacked may immediately transfer any or all of its treasury to the Group it just captured. This is not a separate action, but is considered part of the attack. Such a transfer is often a good idea, either to protect the new Group from attack or to let it mount an attack of its own. If a player’s first action is an attack, and it fails, the player may attack the same Group again as his second action. However, no individual Group (except the UFOs) may attack twice in a turn. A newly-controlled Group may attack (or aid an attack, or use its special ability) on the same turn in which it was acquired. Attack to Neutralize This is identical to an “Attack to Control” except: 1. The target must be a Group that is already controlled by another player. 2. The attacker gains an additional +6 bonus. 3. The attacker does not need an open control arrow. 4. If the attack succeeds, the target Group and any subordinates are placed in the uncontrolled area. All their money is returned to the bank. Attack to Destroy This is identical to an “Attack to Control” except: 1. Instead of rolling “Power minus Resistance,” the attacker rolls “Power minus Power.” In other words, the defending Group defends with its Power rather than its Resistance. (Its closeness to its Illuminati, as shown on p. 5, still counts for defense.) A Group with no Power cannot be
which keep powerless Groups from organizing enough to control other Groups also make them too diffuse to wipe out. 2. Groups with different philosophies destroy each other more easily. An Attack to Destroy gets a +4 bonus for every
3. A Group does not need an open control arrow in order to attempt destruction. 4. If the attack succeeds, the target Group goes to the “dead pile.” Its subordinate Groups are not destroyed, but become uncontrolled. It can be revived only by the Special card Media Campaign. 5. You may try to destroy a Group you already control. In this case, the target’s closeness to its Illuminati does not protect it. But no Group may attack itself, or aid an attempt to destroy itself!
