Starter Cards

Each card below is a Starter card. Its printed text is given as printed.

Hungry Glyph

• Card type: Starter
• Cost: 0 (star icon, bottom left)
• Value: 0 (coin, bottom right)
• Printed text:
  • "+1 Power"
  • "❈: Pay 10 or 20 HP, then gain +1 Power for every 10 HP paid."
  • "(Replace 1 of your Starter Glyphs with this.)"

The printed text is fully legible on the top card of the stack in the photograph.

Switcheroo Glyph

• Card type: Starter
• Cost: 0 (star icon, bottom left)
• Value: 0 (coin, bottom right)
• Printed text:
  • "+1 Power"
  • "❈: Put this in target foe's discard pile, then put another Starter card from their discard pile into your hand."
  • "(Replace 1 of your Starter Glyphs with this.)"

The printed text is fully legible on the top card of the stack in the photograph.

Spell Book Cards

Each card's printed text is reproduced verbatim. The card type "Spell Book" is printed in a banner along the card's edge.

The Bone Tome

• Card type: Spell Book
• Cost: 5 (bottom left)
• Value: 0 (bottom right)
• Printed text:
  • "Choose a Dead Wizard Token from outside the game and attach it to this."
  • "ONGOING: This is a copy of the attached Dead Wizard Token."

The card also carries a "Papa Boner, Voodoo King" line name and a PROMO mark. These are not rules text.

Mighty Mayhem Manual

• Card type: Spell Book
• Cost: 1 (bottom left, read at low resolution; see the flags below)
• Value: 3 (bottom right, read at low resolution; see the flags below)
• Printed text:
  • "ONGOING: After a Mayhem resolves, ATTACK: Deal 5 damage to each foe."
  • "❈: Return this card to your unpurchased area (you may buy it again): Avoid a Mayhem or GROUP ATTACK."

The card carries a line name at the bottom, which reads "Tian-Foo" followed by a second word that is not legible at this resolution. It is not rules text.

The Mighty Mayhem Manual has two icons in its top right corner: a silver-and-black icon that resembles a hammer or axe head, and a red circle with a crossed-out symbol. Their meanings are not printed on the card, so they are not transcribed as words.

Dead Wizard Tokens

The Dead Wizard token sheet contains six MAGNETIC Dead Wizard Tokens. Each has the following printed text, reproduced verbatim:

MAGNETIC Gain all other revealed MAGNETIC Tokens. END OF GAME: If you have 4 or more MAGNETIC Tokens, they are worth positive VP instead of negative.

The full wording is legible on two of the six tokens in the photograph; the other four show the same heading and the same first two lines, with the END OF GAME line partly covered by neighbouring tokens. The wording above is taken from the two fully legible tokens and is the same on each.

The sheet also contains one plain Dead Wizard skull token printed with the words "DEAD WIZARD" and no visible rules text on its face. It is not transcribed, because no rules text is visible on it.

Tongue Token and Wizard Ability Tiles

The sheet contains a Tongue Token (art only, with no text printed on it) and three ability tiles with the text below. The rules text is on the Ability tile, not on the Tongue Token.

Tongue Ability Tile

Printed text, verbatim:

• "❈: Move your Tongue Token to a card in the Line-Up. (If that card leaves the Line-Up, return the Tongue Token to you.)"
• "Cards in the Line-Up with your Tongue Token cost -1 on your turn and +3 on opponents' turns."

Replace Starter Cards Tile

Printed text, verbatim:

• "Replace any 2 of your Starter cards with any 2 Starter cards from outside the game."

No Attacks Tile

Printed text, verbatim:

• "While you have either no cards in your deck or no cards in your discard pile, you cannot be ATTACKED."

Ability Tile Back

The gold tile with "ABILITY" printed across it is the back of the Wizard Ability tiles. It carries no rules text.

Flags for the Reader

• The printed symbol ❈ begins the activated abilities on the Hungry Glyph, Switcheroo Glyph, Mighty Mayhem Manual and Tongue Ability tile. Its name is not printed on these components. It is transcribed as ❈, not as a word, because the rules for it cannot be taken from the components alone. The Annihilageddon rulebook does not name this symbol either, so its meaning is an open question for the reader.
• The Mighty Mayhem Manual cost and value numbers were read from a low-resolution photograph and should be confirmed against a physical copy.
• The MAGNETIC wording is fully legible on two tokens only. The text on the other four is consistent with it but partly hidden.
• The sheet's copyright lines ("™ AND © OWNED BY CZE") and the PROMO marks are not rules text and are omitted.
