Gambits

Gambit cards are played as printed. Their type line is shown on each card.

Dark Determination

Gambit · Ploy · 234/308

Surviving friendly fighters other than your leader have the assassin keyword.

+1 Dice to friendly assassins' Range 1 Attack actions that target a leader.

This effect persists until the end of the phase.

In the shadows of Harrowdeep, any fighter may become a cold-blooded killer.

Deafening Clangour

Gambit · Ploy · 236/308

Play this only if one or more friendly fighters each have three or more upgrades. Scatter 3 from one of those fighters' hexes. Stagger each enemy fighter in each hex in the chain.

Even if you can't see your enemies, you can still intimidate them.

Phantom Denial

Gambit · Ploy · 250/308

Reaction: Play this when an opponent plays a gambit which chooses one or more fighters, if one of more of the chosen fighters are friendly fighters [sic: printed as "one of more"] with one or more Illusion upgrades. Discard one power card. When you do, those fighters are not chosen and the gambit is discarded.

Some warriors can wield illusions potent enough to deny what is real.

Phantom Retrieval

Gambit · Ploy · 251/308

Pick one or more Illusion upgrades in your discard pile. Then discard two power cards for each Illusion upgrade you picked. When you do, return the Illusion upgrades you picked to your hand.

'If it's not real, who's gonna mind it I nick it?' - Shank

Shady Bargain

Give one upgrade to one friendly fighter without spending any glory points. Then pick one opponent. That opponent may give one upgrade to one of their fighters without spending any glory points.

'You wins, I wins, no one needs to know.' - Krookgrin

Choose one friendly fighter. Heal the chosen fighter according to the number of upgrades that fighter had when you played this card, as shown below. Then break each of the chosen fighter's upgrades.

  • 0-1 upgrades: Heal (1)
  • 2-4 upgrades: Heal (2)
  • 5+ upgrades: Heal (3)

Transfer of Power

Gambit · Ploy · 263/308

Choose two friendly fighters who each have one or more Illusion upgrades and no Charge tokens. Place each chosen fighter in the hex that was occupied by the other fighter when you chose them.

There are whispers of a way to channel Harrowdeep's illusions to cross incredible distances in an instant.

Cover of Darkness

Gambit · Ploy · 233/308

Pick one:

Gambits cannot deal damage. This effect persists until the end of the next power step.

Or: Push one friendly fighter up to 2 hexes into a cover hex.

Sometimes it's wise to move quietly and avoid notice.

Illusory Find

Gambit · Ploy · 242/308

Reveal cards from the top of your power deck one by one until you reveal an Illusion upgrade. Add that card to your hand, then return the revealed cards to your power deck and shuffle your power deck. If you did not reveal an Illusion upgrade, return the revealed cards to your power deck and shuffle your power deck.

Harrowdeep holds many treasures for a warrior with only a tenuous grip on reality.
