Nightfall

Poison and Decoy Coins, with four new units: Assassin, Saboteur, Infiltrator and Skirmisher.

Nightfall (2023) adds Poison Counters, Decoy Coins and 4 new units. Setup changes are in Setup under “Play with Nightfall”.

Components

• 18 unit coins and 4 unit cards
• 2 Poison Counters and 2 Decoy Coins

Poison

The Assassin and the Saboteur poison enemy units. Their Poison Counter starts on their card.

• To poison, put the counter on the enemy unit. If it is already on another unit, move it: that unit is no longer poisoned.
• A poisoned unit’s owner can’t discard its coins face up to maneuver it, nor play its coins to bolster it. Other units and decrees can still give it a maneuver or a bolster, and its own attributes and restrictions still work.
• Unpoison: discard one of its coins face up. The counter goes back to the card it came from. This is not a maneuver.
• When a poisoned unit is destroyed, the counter goes back to its card.

Decoy Coins

The Infiltrator and the Skirmisher deceive: put their Decoy Coin face up in an opponent’s discard pile. If it is already with an opponent, nothing happens. Decoys can’t be recruited.

• The opponent clears it by playing it face up from hand as an action; it goes back beside its card.
• They may also spend it on a face-down action (initiative, recruit, pass), but never to place, maneuver, unpoison or proclaim.

New units

These cards are pictured in their Spanish printing; the rules below are the English text.

4 coins. Tactic: move, then poison an adjacent unit. Attribute: after the Assassin attacks a poisoned unit, you may remove one coin of that unit’s supply from the game.

Saboteur

5 coins. Tactic: poison a unit one or two spaces away; the space between may hold a unit. Attribute: it may use its tactic straight after it is recruited.

Infiltrator

5 coins. Tactic: move onto a location your opponent controls and control it. Attribute: it may deceive its opponent right after it controls a location.

Skirmisher
