Special Rule: Offer No Firm Foundations

At your [origin icon], Build actions add [figure-with-flag icon] instead of [Town/City icons].

Spirit Panel Back

Setup

Put 2 Presence on your starting board, in the lowest-numbered Wetland.

You start with your 4 Unique Power Cards and 0 Energy.

Play Style

Likes having [origin icon] where Invaders will Build, but may need to re-create those [origin icon] after oozing outwards with its Innate Power. In smaller games, might be able to cut off the most Inland lands from Explore actions by Destroying Inland Towns/Cities and stopping new ones from being built.

Causes a fair bit of Fear, much of which represents unpleasantness, hardship, and disgust.

Starting Summary

Colour key for the panel's starting summary (power categories): Offense (dark teal), Control (green), Fear (purple), Defense (orange), Utility (brown).

Transcription Notes

• The panel is a scan, so the icons are reproduced as described rather than by their printed names. Where the icon name could not be confirmed from the scan, it is written in brackets as a description (for example, "[figure icon: raised arms]"). The Innate Power thresholds, numbers, and element requirements were read from the scan at high resolution and are believed accurate, but the icon names should be checked against the physical panel.
• The text "origin" is printed on the panel beside the presence-with-rays icon, which is also the Range origin shown in the Speed/Range box. It is transcribed as printed.
