D8 RESULT

You Dope: One of your players has been experimenting with performance-enhancing potions. You mnay play

this Desperate Measure during Step 1 of the first Start of Drive sequence of the game. Choose one player on

your team. This player has either their Strength or their Agility improved by 1 for the duration of this game.

this Desperate Measure when you activate a player. This player may perform two actions rather than

the usual one

Grudge Match: Your team has a long-standing and violent rivalry with the opposition. You may use this

Desperate Measure at the start of one of your team turns, before any player is activated. For the duration of

this team turn, your team may commit any number of Fouls, rather than just one.

Set Piece: In preparation for the game, your team has been practicing some set piece plays. You may play

HACKSPIT QUILLCHEWER'S FUN FACTS

Until recently, the record for Most Decapitations in a Single Match was

held for over a decade by Helmut Wulf. In a 2485 match against the

Champions of Death, he performed an impressive 22 decapitations.

This unlikely achievement was made possible by Tomolandry, who kept

repairing his players and sending them back to be decapitated again!

At full time, an enraged Tomolandry accused Wulf of deliberately

undoing all his hard work-work. Wulf famously responded by advising

the Necromancer to use wire instead of twine-twine!
