Jean-Claude Van Rice
Incarnation of Wu-Feng. Printed word: "AWARE". Resistance: left leg 3 Blue, right leg 4 Green.
Entering Play
Jean-Claude is aware. When he enters play, he is sideways, filling 2 spaces (his color is considered green). If there aren't 2 free adjacent spaces due to Buddha or Ghosts, Jean-Claude makes space next to a free space by discarding what is there (no curse/reward for ghost; can't eliminate an incarnation).
Defeating Jean-Claude
To defeat him, players must break both his legs: his left leg has a 3 Blue resistance and his right 4 Green (his right leg is stronger).
An exorcism must be successful on each of his two legs (the order has no importance). When one of his legs is broken, he moves fully on to the space for the remaining leg, leaving an open space.
Reward: The Apple
When both of his legs are broken, he is discarded and gives an apple to the active player (this reward is an artifact). An apple is good for the body and it's full of pectin, but it can spoil! During his Yang Phase, the player can discard the apple to return any Taoist (including himself) to 3 QI. But if another Wu-Feng comes into play before the apple is used, the apple has spoiled and it must be discarded with no effect.
The apple cannot be used on a dead Taoist.
Gaps
- The printed face of the card shows only the word "AWARE", the resistance icons, the Wu-Feng symbol and the apple icon. Every effect above comes from the BGG item description for this promo, not from text printed on the card.
- The BGG description's introductory line ("This is the 2010 Promotion available for download off the Repos website for April Fool's") and its closing note about the 7 Wonders edition are publication notes, not rules, and are reflected only in the Table of Contents note.
- "Adjacent", "Buddha", "Ghosts", "Yang Phase", "QI" and "exorcism" are terms defined in the base Ghost Stories rulebook and are not restated here.
