Arrival Effect
Shuffle all cards in the support pool and players' hands. Starting with the active player, deal them in clockwise order back to players' hands.
Take all the cards in each player's Support, as well as all cards in their hands. The cards are randomly and equally distributed between all players, no matter how many each player had or how good they were. No card should be in the support pool at the end of this effect: all cards must be in players' hands. Therefore it's possible that players do not have the same number of cards in hand than before the effect, and potentially more than 6 cards in hand.
Success Bonus
Choose a player. Each other player places 1 card from their hand on top of the chosen player's deck in any order. Then, each player except the chosen one draws a card.
The cards are placed on the player's deck in the order of his choice. If a player has no cards in hand, he simply ignores this effect (as long as he's the chosen player). The chosen player doesn't draw a card. If another player has no deck, he receives a Madness and shuffles his discard pile to make a new deck, then draws 1 card. Players wait until everyone has given their card before drawing.
Failure Penalty
Each player draws a random card from the player's hand to their right and places it on their own discard pile.
The discarded card is not chosen, but taken randomly from your neighbor's hand. If a player has no cards in hand, he gives no card to the player on his left, but still receives one from the player on his right.
