Something About Cats

This expansion contains:

  • 2 Cats from Mercury and their Loyalty Card
  • 2 Cats from Venus and their Loyalty Card
  • 2 Asteroid Cats and their Loyalty Card
  • 1 Cat from Neptune and its Loyalty Card
  • Hagarg Ryonis, Independent Elder God: a Loyalty Card and a Spellbook card

Loyalty Cards

Cat from Mercury (2)

Pay 2 Doom to take this Loyalty Card. Place a Cat from Mercury at your Controlled Gate.

  • Cost: 1
  • Combat: 1

Needs Affection (Pre-Battle): If a Cat from Mercury is in a Battle, you can choose one or more of your Monsters present at that Battle, and immediately replace them with your Acolyte Cultists from your pool.

Cat from Venus (2)

Pay 2 Doom to take this Loyalty Card. Place a Cat from Venus at your Controlled Gate.

  • Cost: 1
  • Combat: 1

Honeymoon (Ongoing): When a Cat from Venus Captures a Cultist, gain 1 Power and immediately return the Cultist to the owner's Pool.

Asteroid Cat (2)

Pay 2 Doom to take this Loyalty Card. Place an Asteroid Cat at your Controlled Gate.

  • Cost: 1
  • Combat: 3

Abandoned to Lusts (Action; Cost 0): If an Asteroid Cat shares an Area with a Unit from another Faction [unreadable], remove the Cat from the Map and place it on one of that enemy's empty Spellbook slots.

When that enemy casts that Spellbook, return the Asteroid Cat to your Controlled Gate, and you get to choose immediately which of his available Spellbooks he must take in that slot.

Note: the qualifier on the enemy Unit in Abandoned to Lusts is not legible in the source and is marked [unreadable]. It should be checked against a higher-resolution copy of the card.

Cat from Neptune (1)

Pay 2 Doom and 2 Power to take this Loyalty Card. Place the Cat from Neptune at your Controlled Gate.

  • Cost: [unreadable]
  • Combat: [unreadable]

[unreadable] (Instant Action): If the Cat from Neptune is Killed in a Battle, you may immediately perform a Ritual of Annihilation. If this causes the marker to move to Instant Death, the game ends after this action.

Note: the Neptune card's ability title and Cost/Combat values are not legible in the source.

Hagarg Ryonis, Independent Elder God

Loyalty Card: Hagarg Ryonis (Cat from Jupiter)

How to Awaken Hagarg Ryonis (Cost 4):

  1. Your Controlled Gate is in an Area with your Great Old One.
  2. Pay 4 Power, and place Hagarg Ryonis at the Gate.

Combat: Hagarg Ryonis rolls no dice. Instead, she adds 3 Pains to your Combat total.

Subversion (Doom Phase): Choose a player. If that player performs a Ritual of Annihilation in the Doom Phase, you steal 1 of the Elder Signs he earns (if any).

Note: the Subversion timing label is partly [unreadable] in the source. The text box at the bottom of the card, which reads "You have a Power", is not legible enough to transcribe the rule it contains.

Spellbook: Hagarg Ryonis

[unreadable]. The spellbook card's title and body text are printed too small in the source to transcribe. The rule has not been reconstructed.

Known gaps in this transcription

  • The Asteroid Cat's Abandoned to Lusts clause, the Neptune card's ability title and its Cost and Combat values, and the Hagarg Ryonis Spellbook text are all [unreadable] in the source.
  • Full-resolution card images or a text version of the Omega Edition would be needed to close these gaps.
