VALET Infinity
Parks Tokens In Warp
You have the power to park. Whenever any tokens enter the warp, you
line them up in an order you choose. If there are tokens already in
the warp, you must place new tokens at the back of the line. Whenever
another player takes tokens from the warp, he must take them from the
front of the line unless he pays you 4 Lucre to "find" his own
tokens. If the token(s) retrieved belong to another player, that
player returns them to his bases (if possible, or to the back of the
line if he has no bases). A player only needs to pay once for each
set of tokens, and need not pay if all of his tokens are retrieved due
to a Warp Break, Wild Galactica, etc. Tokens falling to the Praw go
in the order in which they are lined up.

Experience Rating: Novice
Cosmic Monopoly
Long version only. Power as is with respect to cosmic tokens in
Jail. Players pay you $50 to find their tokens.
Commentary: This is a resource power from Matt Stone's set. Valet is
not quite a Lucre generating power. As the game progresses and
players desperately need their tokens, you will most likely get some
Lucre, but in the early game players won't mind that much they can't
automatically get their tokens since their tokens will eventually and
relatively quickly get to the front of the line. Still, while tokens
do leave the warp, you can target a player by always putting his
tokens last. Token deprival is an effective weapon. If using the
Fan, Valet orders the tokens there as well. Valet is annoying.
