EVENT CARDS
There are 5 types of Event Cards. These are interactive cards that have a big impact on the game. Try adding events to your deck to make it more exciting and raise the stakes! Make sure all players are using the same number of Events in their deck. If Events are being used, all players MUST include both Special Events. When an Event is played it goes into the Discard pile. While other card types are limited to one per turn, you can use any number of Events in one turn. If you save up a few, they can have HUGE impacts on the game.
