SPECIAL RULES
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 effect monster 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.
The Devour 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.
LORE
Gerflux began as a simple pasture goat, living quietly near the edge of an abandoned research field. That changed when it drank from a pool of strange Ichor leaking through the soil. The substance altered it in ways no one could have predicted. Gerflux grew far beyond its natural size, its appetite expanding just as quickly. The transformation left it unstable, its body in constant flux, radiating an unhealthy glow that stains the ground wherever it walks. At times, it releases pockets of Ichor that cling to the terrain, pulsing faintly with energy. Players can collect this residue, though contact with it carries risk: the substance is known to drain vitality over time, spreading the same exhaustion that afflicts Gerflux itself. Driven by endless hunger, Gerflux roams in search of sustenance, guided by instinct more than reason. Those who encounter it in the wild must tread carefully, the creature’s size and unpredictable behavior make it as tragic as it is dangerous.
