SAEC GAMES UNOFFICIAL RULE SUPPLEMENT The following information was gathered from the SAEC Games Home Page (http://www.saecgames.com), and is Copyright 2005 SAEC Games. Rules TRAP CARDS:<.p> Traps are designated by the word "Trap" after the Card Type. These cards are considered to be both the type of card specified and a Trap. For instance, an Edge: Trap is both an Edge and a Trap. Trap cards are played just like the card type specified except that they are played face down on the table. Traps have no effect on play until they are "triggered". The text of the card will tell how the Trap is triggered. When the trigger condition is met, the player must immediately flip the Trap card and reveals its effect (Traps -must- be flipped when the trigger condition is met unless the card specifies otherwise). The card text expresses the effect(s) of the Trap once it has been sprung. The effects of a Trap are carried out immediately once the Trap has been sprung. Traps that have been sprung are swept in their owner's next Sweep Phase. Traps that are not triggered in the turn they are played are to be swept from play according to their primary card type unless otherwise specified. Edge and Event Traps would be swept at the player's next Sweep Phase, whereas Object and Situation Traps would remain in play until sprung. Attack: Trap cards are a little bit different and have some additional considerations. Firstly, Attack: Trap cards do not require an open attack slot to be played. They are played in conjunction with an attack. If the Trap is sprung, the Trap will constitute a new, additional attack to be placed at the end of the attack sequence. This attack will also -require- that a new defense be played against it. This defense may be played from your hand or from an exertion unless the Trap card specifies otherwise. Here are some examples to help in understanding how Traps work:
SITUATION: TIME RULES: Situation: Time cards are designated by the Card Type "Situation: Time" found under the main picture. These cards are a new type of Situation with special rules for playing them. Situation: Time cards are played in conjunction with a Location. This technically "breaks" the "Only one Special Card per Turn" rule. However, Situation: Time cards can only be played in conjunction with a Location. The mechanic is very similar to playing the Series Edition Darius card in conjunction with another Special Card. Once the Situation: Time card has been put into play, it is just like any other Situation. It can be the target of any card that targets a generic Situation such as Focus or Police (Remove Situation). Another important thing to note is that Situation: Time cards will stay in play if the Location that they are played with is removed. Once the Situation: Time card is in play, it is independent of the Location that was used to bring it into play. Here are some examples to help in understanding how Situation: Time cards work:
Errata CRYSTA VAN PELT: NICK WOLF: GENERICS: Tim Helfet FAQs AMANDA PERSONA:Q: Do I have to play Amanda’s new persona with her old one? A: Up to you, you get an enhancement from Amanda Persona one, but lose 1 pre-game slot. Q: Using her new ability, I can discard three of Amanda’s titled dodges to increase her die roll, Can I decrease yours? A: As long as you immediately discard the dodges prior to his roll, Yes. Q: Does Amanda if she power blocks with Ancestral Blade or Continuity take zero damage or one? A: Without her Persona two Pre-game, she takes zero damage. The Modified values of her Persona Two over-rides the prevention of Ancestral Blade and Continuity. She takes 1 damage no matter what. AMANDA CLOAK AND DAGGER: Q: I play Connor, with Mountain Cave & Master’s Advance out and Amanda attacks, on my turn I play Edge Feint, Masters Block, Headshot and upper right attack would Cloak And Dagger undo my attack? A: No only the effect of one card. Since feint forces her to find the defense from an exertion, and knowing it would cost her a dodge prior to exerting. On her defense phase, she can use the exertion to undo the text of any one card in play. So, in this case she can nullify the head shot text, the feint text, that way she doesn’t have to find the defense from the exertion, the master advance, so it only costs her one dodge, or the Mountain cave allowing her to see the attack, even the text on Connor’s Master Block, but its all choice. She still must deal with the attack and any other card she hasn’t nullified. Q: If I use my exertion for a defense, can I then make an exertion to use C&D? A: Only if you’re allowed a second exertion in your defense phase and in that particular phase, once the defense phase ends C&D is useless. Q: What is the duration of the effect of Cloak & Dagger? A: One full turn. No, it cannot last longer than that unless a card specifies that it does. Q: Can I nullify any Premium, Pregame or Persona ability text with Cloak & Dagger? A: Inner Council ruled that Yes, Cloak & Dagger can be used to nullify any Pregame card since they are considered "In Play". See Addendum for Highlander: The Card Game - Version 2001.3.20 AMANDA ENHANCED SKILL: Q: If he played a Kastagir Charm and I discarded three blocks, do I lose 3 ability? A: No, you gain only one and your opponent only loses one, however you may draw up to three cards for his Charm. AMANDA FABRIS’ THRUST: Q: Can you play more than one Fabris’ Thrust per turn? A: Yes AMANDA MASTER’S BLOCK: Q: Can Amanda’s Master Block be used if a player played a ranged attack? A: Yes, Her Mst Block permits her to use it as a dodge titled card, she would avoid the attack. AMANDA PASSION PLAY: Q: Can I use an opponents Signature card if I select it as an object? A: No, but you can discard it to not allow your opponent from using it. Up to you... Q: Once I steal a standard object, let’s say an Extra Weapon, how long do I have to use it? A: The entire game if you wish, in the above scenario. If Amanda was disarmed or had a broken weapon, she can then discard the extra weapon as if it were her own to get it back. She would then return the object back to her opponent’s discard pile…Simple. AMANDA THE RAVEN: Q: Do I play Birthright or Queen of Spades first? A: Either one, You need both to play Full Disclosure and the uniqueness it's you can play it out of sequence until the Event: Plot is activated AMANDA REBORN: Q: So basically if C&R have two objects in play, I get 4 attacks that turn? A: Yes, if you played Reborn prior to your attack phase...sure why not. Q: Does it count against a WOC and their cards? A: A WOC of choice no, cause it’s considered a pre-game card, but if a Quality blade or other objects are in play, absolutely. AMANDA SEDUCTRESS: Q: If I play this in conjunction with an attack, when is it triggered? A: Once your opponent announces he/she is searching for a defense. The minute he/she draws one card, Seductress is triggered. He then can only draw four. Q: Kastagir allows him to draw one card at a time, does Seductress nullify his exertion? A: No, only the size, he still can draw up to four cards, even if it’s one at a time. ANDRE KORDA PRE-GAME PREMIUM: Q: Does this apply to a Situation: Plot or Situation Time Card? A: Any type of Situation, yes. BLACK PHOENIX FAN WU SHU MANEUVER: Q: Can I use the Wu-Shu maneuvers as my first attack? A: Yes, Dodge-n-Strikes fall under the same applications as a Block-n Strike. Q: If there is something preventing me from playing a defense from my hand, can I play Dodge and Strike as an attack? A: No. Dodge and Strike is considered to be both a Special Attack and a Dodge. Q: Are Dodge n Strikes considered a Dodge and Special Attack? A: Yes, all yellow attacks are considered Special attacks unless they say otherwise. CONNOR MACLEOD MANIPULATION OF THE MIND: Q: Basically if I look at a hidden attack then MOTM is triggered, can I use Edge hidden against his new attack? A: Nope. CRYSTA PERSONA: Q: If I am down to eight points, do I have to discard down to eight? A: No, you will always have one above, so you would discard down to nine.

A: Absolutely CRYSTA BLACKMAIL (SITUATION): Q: Does Blackmail-Situation stack? A: Yes Q: Does the exertions count for both Event and situation? A: Only if your opponent has to exert during their turn and you still have Blackmail Event out prior to your next sweep phase. The Event doesn’t have an effect, but the exertion size increases for each Blackmail in play. Things can get hairy. CRYSTA KORDA’S TOUCH: Q: May I use an immortal specific master attack, special attack, or weapon of choice attack against my opponent when the trap is sprung? A: Yes, as long as it’s not Signatured, why not? DUNCAN MACLEOD AGRIPPA’S FINGER PLAY: Q: If I play a Duncan Battle Rage with Higher Ground, and make more than one attack. Can I play more than one of AFP in one turn? A: Absolutely, one for each attack. You’re allowed up to six in a turn and they are face down traps.

A: Yes and Yes HUGH FITZCAIRN BAGGER ADVANCE: Q: What do you mean by a Female titled Ally card? A: Any Heather, Anne, Debra, anything with a proper female name in the title of the Ally card. KALAS GIGANTI’S MASTERS LUNGE: Q: I am lost on this attack, If my opponent gained ability and I pick upper-right, middle, is it a head shot attack? A: You can make the attack a head shot, if the event Head shot is played along with your attack. Key phrasing is “Can be”, which means you must play a card that allows GML to be a headshot. Otherwise it’s just a 4 point special attack. Q: If it’s a four point attack, is the attack a power blow? A: The cards uniqueness is that it’s a four point attack without being a power blow.

KATANA MASTER HEADSHOT: Q: Holy Molly, do I have to find a defense for both the lower attack and this one combined? A: No, you only need to defend the Headshot. It’s more of a sneak attack. Q: Can I play if he has a Situation in play? A: Yes, If your opponent played that Situation on their last turn or you used your ability Q: Opponent has a situation in play and Katana plays a lower basic attack, and this new Master Headshot card face down, and plays Katana's Taunt for the first attack (opponent can only play a defense from an exertion). Now the opponent is forced to exert for a defense. He exerts and finds a master block, does the headshot still go through? A: If he successfully BLOCKED from the exertion from the Taunt, this triggers the Mst Headshot. He may not exert to find the defense for the Master Headshot in an exertion if he used one for the Taunt. You must find the defense against both grids or it's over. Thus the one restriction. Key phrasing: Your opponent must play a NEW defense to defend this attack from an exertion. There are cards that permit a second exertion, but if he successfully blocked your Katana Taunt with a Block. He must still play a new defense even if the block covered both attacks. KHABUL KHAN DOUBLE ATTACK: Q: Another Khan immortal specific card allows me to increase any attack Khan plays by 2 points, if I have all three armors out.

GENERIC POLICE ESCORT: Q: Will this completely disarm your opponent, or just one weapon? After 3 turns, this card leaves play.
