GAME TERMS
DESTROY:
When a card is destroyed, it is placed face-up on top of its owner’s
discard pile. Important: Destroyed Heroes of the Resistance are
removed from the game.
SACRIFICE:
A sacrice is a game event that cannot be prevented. When a card
is sacriced, it is placed face up on top of its owner’s discard pile.
Important: Sacriced Heroes of the Resistance are removed
from the game.
OPPOSING:
This indicates that an eect can only be used in the same invasion
zone, i.e. the column directly opposite the invasion zone where the
card that mentions “opposing” is played.
Example: The invader plays the Alien Legionnaires card into
the Africa invasion zone. The card says that he can ‘Destroy an
opposing
card.’ This denotes that only a Mankind card in the
Africa invasion zone could be targeted – as long as it has a
icon.
