QUASAR Set-Up, Interphase
Uses Pulsar Cards
You have the power to pulse. At game set-up, collect all Pulsar Cards
of other players' powers and place them on this power card. Between
each challenge, you may have a Pulsar Card face up to show it's
activated for your benefit or face down to have it not be activated
for the challenge. Do this for each Pulsar Card, and they need not
all be face up or down. Other players can play Pulsar Zap cards as
Cosmic Zaps for this power.
History: Borne from a fluctuating star, the Quasars radiate
electromagnetic fluxes in highs and lows. These waves cause an
imbalance in the equilibrium of all other life forms, weakening their
physical statures. Soon they will melt away into nothingness.

No Changes
Experience Rating: Expert
Cosmic Monopoly
Not really applicable. Only use as is in long version if Pulsar cards
are used.
Commentary: This is a meta-power created by me. Quasar is powerful no
matter what, but its effect on the game is dependent upon other
players' powers. Many Pulsar Cards prevent a player from targeting
the holder of the card. In that sense, powers will work normally but
just can't be used against the Quasar player. Others affect powers
when the holder is main player against them, weakening their power
somewhat. There are few that significantly change the power,
regardless of player status in a challenge. These are the ones Quasar
might choose to keep face down if he needs the full power for some
reason. Nevertheless, Quasar is definitely an annoying power,
provided of course you are using Pulsars. I think I'm the only
one. :)
