• 

  Count Jago (C)

  You start each combat with four Sanity tokens instead of three.

  
  
• 

  Dagmar Krauss (P)

  You can place two Farms of the same type in a single action, e.g. two Sheep Farms. You are still limited to placing three Farms in total.

  
  
• 

  Desta Danger (1)

  You select one revealed Temple on the board to remove from play. Any Old Ones on the Temple tile are also removed. No Victory Points are scored for any of these removed tiles, even if damage had already been done to some of them.

• 

  Ivan Karpov (P)

  If one or more Old Ones attack your Port, each immediately suffers two damage. If the Old Ones attacking your Port are automatically destroyed, you are still regarded as having fought a combat, so cannot use Kapena Alika to defend a Farm that may have been attacked at the same time.

  
  
•

  Flip one or two of your blighted Farms to their productive side. Jenny must be used before you reach 53 on the Time Track. In cooperative games you may flip another player's Farms.
