The Laws of Highly Armed Conflict

Contents :

90 Cards, 4 Country Identifiers, 1 Page of

Rules

Printing Instructions :

As always, we would highly suggest

printing the cards on #110 pound paper. (Found at

most office stores for about $8 per 250 sheets). Youcould also put the cards in plastic sleeves. Either way

works..

Pages 3 12 should be printed only once.

If you would like logos on the card, print page 2 on

the back of each sheet. Weve also included a page

of country identifiers. They arent required for play,

but it helps to remind players whos who. After all,you dont want to nuke your best friend, and come to

find out that you just nuked your wife. Well, maybe

you do, but thats besides the point..

Pre-Game Setup :

Shuffle all 90 cards into a single deck.

Each player must choose to play one of the foursuperpowers. After this is done, deal 7 cards to each

player. Play typically goes clockwise, and starts with

whomever you like.

Why we fight?

Who knows. Who cares? The object; to

hold 100 points worth of property at one time nuked or otherwise. Of course, some people might

object to that

Order of a turn :

During each players turn, he/she will be

required to do the following things :

1) Take a card

Just one. And no more than one.

2) Use a card

Using a card is optional, actually. Though

the deck might seem varied, there arent many types

of cards. Below are the most common :

Territory Cards These cards call attention to thatparticular location, giving everyone the opportunity to

attack it. To use one, simply toss it in the middle of

the play area. That territory is now considered

uncontrolled and visible. (Uncontrolled because

nobody controls it. Visible because, well, you can see

it.) Oh, heres a little tip try not to throw down your

own territories. Thats just asking for trouble.

Attack Cards This includes Internal Control,

Revolution, Military Force, and the infamous

Nuclear Bomb. If another territory is visible, you

can attack it. If nobody cancels your attack, you get

to take it. Assuming that happens, place the card in

front of you, face up. As long as you control that

territory, you gain as many points as noted at the

bottom of the card. (Note : You may never actively

control one of your home territories. If another

player has captured a home territory, you may attack

it. But, if you win combat, you may only discard the

territory so it is out of harms way. And in case it

isnt obvious, you cannot attack an uncontrolledhome territory. That would be like killing your own

people for no reason.)

Instant Cards These typically cancel an attack,

opportunity, or terrorism card. Instant cards can be

played by any player, at any time; even if its not their

turn. Thats why we call them Instant.

Terrorism Cards These nasty little items cause other

players to lose cards from their hand. A constant

barrage of terrorism can really leave a player without

supplies, so dont write it off too easily. After all, a

player cant stop a nuke if he has no cards, right?

Terrorism cards do require a territory to target,however. The owner of that territory would then have

to feel the sting of your fury. (More Notes : No, you

can never use terrorism on a home country, unless it

is under someone elses control. At that point, its

not really yours until you get it back. Besides that,

you may use terrorism on an uncontrolled territory.

Whatever player shares the same flag as the target isthe cards owner.)

Opportunity Card These cards will give you added

cards in your hand. They are very useful after being

struck with terrorism, or when you need anything

but what you currently have. Even if you have to

discard the same amount of cards you just picked up,at least you can be picky about what you keep.

3) Di scard down to your max.

Naturally, a player can hold a maximum of

7 cards in his/her hand. So, at the end of the turn, the

player must discard all but 7 cards. However, there

are a few strings attached to this

- A player may *never* discard a territory

card. If the player has no choice but to do so, he/she

must show his/her hand to everyone (to prove this

fact), and immediately play the excess territory cards

to the center of the table.

- For each home territory the player has

under someone elses control, his/her maximum handsize drops by one. So, for example, if Dallas and Los

Angeles are under control by other players, the USA

players maximum hand size would be 5 cards, rather

than 7. As those territories are freed, the player

would regain his normal max.

- If a player is ever caught with more cards

that he/she is allowed to have, the accuser mayrandomly discard enough of the lawbreakers cards to

get his/her hand size within limits. Also, the accuser

may take one extra card at random and keep it.

(Note : If a player is over his/her max because he/she

just lost a home territory to another player, this is not

considered cheating. A player can only be zappedwhen he/she forgets to properly calculate his/her

maximum, and goes over.)

When the game ends :

As soon as a player takes enough

territories to put him/her over 100 points, he/she is

considered the winner.

Gaming Notes & Questions :

Social Assimilation If a player uses

Social Assimilation on a territory, then loses that

territory, the effects of Social Assimilation wear off.

Also, to show the effects of Social Assimilation,rotate the territory sideways.

Secret Agent & Double Agent When

these cards are used or discarded, they should be put

on the bottom of the discard pile. This makes it

easier to identify that they have been returned. If a

player does not want to give up either card, break hisfingers.

Nuclear Bomb A nuked country can

never be used again. Whoever

nuked it gets to keep it for

points, and must place the

territory face down in front ofhim/her, showing that its a

radioactive wasteland. At any

time, however, another player

can ask to see the face of the

card. No need to be sneaky..

Can you attack an uncontrolled home

territory to get it off the board? - No.

Can I nuke a home territory under

someone elses control? - Yes, you can. But

remember, the price for doing so is permanently

losing one card from your own hand.

Can a Secret Agent even be used to stop

Instants?- Of course he can. Secret Agents screw

up everything

If I steal a Secret Agent with Double

Agent, can I immediately use him?- Um sure.

Cant see why youd want to, though

Can a Secret Agent be used to stop

someone from playing a terri tory card?- Sorry, Mr.

Bond. Some missions are impossible. (In other

words, no.)

Can I use Resistance long after Social

Assimilation is played? - In theory, yes. But for the

sake of the game, no.

Thats it!

Plain and simple. Hope you like it! We

sure do.. :) Any questions? Feel free to write me at

[email protected]. Ill probably giveyou same day service. Enjoy!
