O. Expansion Rules
The Pax Renaissance expansion adds 60 more cards, and the following rules:
O1. Polymath
The expansion adds a new class of tableau cards called Polymaths, indicated by the Vitruvian Man icon in the upper left corner. Representing genius-level Renaissance Men, these cards do not add any Agents, and otherwise follow the same rules for Tableau cards.
O2. Apostasy One-Shot (lightning icon)
If triggered, this one-shot affects the tableaus of all players, who are on trial for dealing with heretics. Each player who has cards with Prestige icons of both indicated Religions in his Tableau must Discard all these cards!
Example: You play the European Union, and trigger its apostasy one-shot. This makes cards with Reformation Prestige incompatible with those with Islamic Prestige. In your tableau there is one Reformation card (Luther), and two Islamic cards (The Grim and The Handsome). Luther is in your west, and the other two are in your east, but east and west do not matter for apostasy. Discard all three cards. Your opponent has three Reformation cards and one Islamic one, and all four are discarded. The Islamic card is the king card Sultan Mehmed with a vassal, and both vassal and suzerain are discarded into the empire stack. Another opponent, with only Reformation cards, does not have to discard any.
O3. Torch One-Shot (torch icon)
If triggered, this one-shot inactivates (flips) the Victory Type indicated, if it has been activated (L1).
- Discredit. If a torch is in a tableau and not silenced, then declaring victory (F6) costs 2 actions instead of one for all players for the victory type indicated. This effect is non-cumulative. This simulates spreading a philosophy discrediting that specific victory.
