Turbo Cards (x8)

Each "Turbo" card allows the captain to overcome any one challenge (one die result).

He may use as many "Turbo" cards as he wishes.

Power Cards: Ejection (x2)

Conditions of play:

• Only the captain, or passengers still aboard the air- craft, may play these cards.
• All passengers must have announced their intentions.
• The captain must not have played his "Equipment" cards yet.

Effect : The player who plays an "Ejection" card forces another passenger (never the captain) to leave the aircraft immediately. The targeted passenger removes his pawn from the aircraft and puts it on his "Adventurer" tile. …

This card causes no action, but it is very helpful in generating as low a number as possible, thus playing early on in the turn and making the most use of the second action card.

1 Refreshment

The player may, but does not have to, carry out the action.

2 Protection

If you want to save for valuable buildings by collecting a lot of building materials and/or Pesos, you may also want to protect yourself in time from thieves and tax collectors. …

Components

• 132 Kingdom cards
• 13 Randomizer cards

To play with Cornucopia, you need a complete Dominion game such as the original Dominion or Dominion: Intrigue.

These provide the Basic cards you need to play (Treasure, Victory, and Curse cards), as well as the full rules for setup and gameplay. …

Intrigue adds 25 new Kingdom cards to Dominion. There are victory cards that do some new things for you, underlings that give you a choice as to what they do, and a variety of other people and places. These cards can be played with the cards from the basic game or on their own.

The rules include how to play a game with up to 6 players. By combining the money and victory cards with those in the basic game, players will have sufficient cards to play with more than 4 players. …

1. Produce all 5 resources.

   Of course, it's often not possible in the beginning to get on every resource. Then place carefully so you can do:

   • Build toward the fifth resource and build on it with your first expansion.
   • Build toward a useful port.
   • Place on large amounts of wheat, ore, and sheep. This way you can use development cards to acquire the needed resources.

   If you're relying on other players for a key resource, all they have to do to stop you is stop trading you what you need. …

Following are the descriptions of each character's special ability:

Allie - (mother's Love)

You can fully heal your damage once during the game.

Bob - (robbery)

• 4-6 players: If you inflict 2 or more damage to a character, you may take an Equipment card of your choice from that character instead of giving them damage. …
