ACTION CARDS

An ACTION card is played by overlaying it on a card or faction of cards. The purpose of the Action card is to either increase or decrease the point value of Suit cards or Factions and/or to affect them in some other way. There are POWER cards and ATTACK cards.

POWER cards:
All Power cards are Black and Gold (but not to be confused with the 2 Suit cards “Favorite Son” and “Dark Horse” which are also Black and Gold). (See card chart above).

Both the HALO card and the HAND SHAKE card add their point values to the TPV of the faction overlaid. The CABOOSE card doubles the TPV of the overlaid faction on a one time basis at the moment it is played. The CAMPAIGN BLITZ card may only be overlaid on your own Candidate or Challenger faction at your turn during Play Off “match play” to immediately win the Race.

ATTACK cards:
ATTACK cards are purple and overlaid on an opponent’s card / faction. They have a negative effect on Suit cards either by reducing the TPV of overlaid cards (subtract the circled number depicted on the card), and/or having some other negative effect.

The BUTTON HOLE card “freezes” the attacked faction by stopping anymore cards from being overlaid on the faction. However, the TPV of the faction remains valid and must be surpassed for an opponent to win the Race.

An ATTACK card overlaid on the CANDIDATE card or the KM card that dictates the erasing of Hats and Votes requires the Candidate player or the KM player only to erase, but not other players in the Bandwagon or Coalition fields. However, the attacked faction’s TPV is nevertheless reduced accordingly by the numeric value of the Attack Action card.
