CALYPTOAD

Gerflux is but a simple pasture goat that was infected by a nearby pool that oozed the ichor. Drinking from the pool caused gerflux to grow to an abnormal size, creating an unquenchable hunger due to it's growing size. Gerflux is also in a constant state of sickness, oozing black blood that has been tainted by the Ichor. Gerlux will often spit out Ichor that will be left on the map for players to gather for themselves. The mix of Ichor and blood can infect the players with the same sickness Gerlfux has, causing them to lose HP every round. With it's constant search for food you may find yourself being devoured and struggling to free yourself from it's intestinal tract.

Players have a spaceship that sits just outside orbit of the planet. The players can gather Ichor to power the ships laser cannon to help kill Gerflux. At the top of the map is a space where Ichor is stored and sent up to the ship. The Ichor infected waters cause a frequency jam, making communicating with the ship a bit troublesome. At the bottom of the map is cleaner waters where a clear signal can be gained to signal to the ship to fire the laser cannon. Gerflux will ooze Ichor infected blood onto the map at the end of every turn, this is represented by a Ichor tokens. If a player is ever in the same space as a Ichor token, move the token to their player board. Ichor tokens will affect mutant attacks, events and even damage the players just by holding onto them. Additional Ichor can be gained by entering the Ichor Pool. This mysterious pool seems to have sprouted from nowhere!

This special game mechanic finds you inside the belly of the beast. Once you have been devoured, you will only gain 1AP on your turn instead of 3. Even if a card or mechanic tells you to gain extra AP, you cannot. On your turn, you must roll 1D6 and attempt to climb out of Gerflux intestinal tract. If you fail to climb out you may find yourself exiting out the other end! If two players ever are to occupy the same space in the intestine tract, move the player bumped in the same direction one space. If that player moves past the 1 space in the tract, that player is freed.
