SNIVELER Infinity
Catches Up When Behind
You have the power to whine. As a main player, whenever you have the
most tokens in the warp, have the fewest bases of any player, or lack
a Challenge Card you need, you may "whine" about it. If you whine
about your tokens, either all other players agree that you can free
all your tokens from the warp, or they must place tokens into the warp
until each matches your number there. If you whine about a base,
either all other players must agree to let you have one extra base
(you pick where) or they each lose one base (their choice). If you
whine about cards, you name what you need (example: "I don't have an
Attack Card higher than a 15."). You can't lie. Either one player
gives you such a card, or all players must discard all such cards in
their hands. You may whine only once per challenge.
HISTORY: The Snivelers developed in the evolutionary shadow of a
closely related but older and more gifted race. Beset by adversity at
every turn, they looked to their elder brethren for succor and
defense. Now adept at self-pity and having liquidated their generous
patrons, they turn their wet, envious gaze towards the heavens.
FLARE
Phase 5
Wild: When not a main player and not invited to ally at all, you may
complain to one of the main players. If that player still does not
invite you to ally with him, he may not invite any allies during that
challenge.
Interphase
Super: If another player wins the game and you have just one base
less, the winner(s) must grant you a joint win or face one more
challenge. If you win the challenge, you and your allies win the
game. If you lose, the first result stands.
PULSAR
Infinity
Con: Play this card when Sniveler whines. Your bases, tokens, and
cards do not count. Sniveler may whine about something else instead
or keep the same whine. The new whine may be for something that now
qualifies where as because of your game effects it did not.
Infinity
Pro: You may whine twice in the challenge.
Eon/Avalon:
No Changes
Experience Rating: Advanced
Cosmic Monopoly
You may whine about least number of properties. Either all players
let you take an unowned property from the bank for free or else each
return a property to the bank, getting back the board price money for
it. You may whine about your Monopoly token in Jail if you are the
only one in Jail. Either everyone lets you leave Jail without having
to pay the $50 fine or else everyone goes to Jail. You may whine
about the least number of buildings, a hotel counting as 5 houses.
Either all players let you get one house for free or all players lose
one house on a property of their choice with no compensation. You do
not need a Monopoly for this nor place your free house on a Monopoly.
Commentary: This is a resource power. This is a fun power to play.
Though powerful in its own right, I like this power for the enjoyment
of the roleplaying it provides. When using this power, you just have
to do it in a whiny and/or crying voice, the more annoying the
better. The "perfect" three power combo: Grovel/Sniveler/Quitter.
"Please, pretty please, don't do that. Hey, no fair! You guys have
more bases than me. All right, that's it. I quit!"
