Special Rules

At the beginning of the game one coach rolls a D6 to determine which NY State Relic will be used as the Ball for the duration of the game!

1. Sleepy Hollow - Pumpkin Ball

Whenever the Pumpkin Ball touches the ground, roll a D6:

• On the roll of a 2+, the ball is fine and play continues as normal.
• On the roll of a 1, the Pumpkin Ball has smashed and is no longer usable. If this happens as part of the kick-off, it will result in a touchback. In any other situation the referee throws a new ball onto the pitch as close to where the old ball smashed as they can manage. The ball deviates from the original position in the same manner as if it was the kick-off, with the exception that it will deviate D3 squares in the rolled direction rather than D6.

2. Catskills - Oversized Acorn Ball

Whenever a player in possession of an Oversized Acorn ball is activated, they must roll a D6. On a 1, the player is hounded by the various woodland creatures looking for a snack, making it somewhat harder to move; the player reduces their MA by 2 for the duration of their activation.

3. Lake Champlain - Snake-swallowed Ball

Whenever a player gains possession of the Snake-swallowed ball, roll a D6. On a 2+, nothing happens. On a 1, the snake lashes out and the player immediately drops them. The ball will bounce from the player that was in possession of the ball. A ball dropped in this manner will not cause a Turnover. If a player who drops the ball in this manner is in the middle of their activation, they may continue their activation as normal, even attempting to pick up the ball again if they wish.

4. New York City - Extra Spikey Ball

When an Extra Spiky Ball lands in an unoccupied square, it will not bounce.

Additionally, when a player rolls a natural 1 when attempting to catch an Extra Spiky Ball (after re-rolls), make an unmodified Armour roll against that player:

• If the player's armour is not broken, they have caught the ball safely.
• If the player's armour is broken, they have not caught the ball well at all! The player becomes Prone and an Injury roll is made against them. This Injury roll cannot be modified in any way.

5. Buffalo - The Runestone Ball

Whenever a player carrying the Runestone ball declares a Pass action, that player applies an additional -1 modifier when making a Passing Ability test. Additionally, whenever a player carrying the Runestone ball makes an Armour roll against an opposition player, they apply a +1 modifier to the result.

6. Albany - Curse of Stone Ball

A player with a Curse of Stone Ball reduces their MA by 1 and applies a -1 modifier to any Agility tests they take while they are in possession of a Curse of Stone Ball, as their flesh begins to turn to stone!

• Sportsmanship matters more than winning.
• Prior to each game, coaches should agree what constitutes a 'cocked' die and discuss any other issues relating to dice rolling mechanisms and reach consensus (ie dice towers). Should either coach request, dice must be shared between coaches.
• External coaching of players in-game is not permitted.
• The Illegal Procedure rule will not be in use; just politely remind your opponent to move their turn marker.
• Turn timers will also not be in place. Please note that you may be given a certain amount of time to complete your game should you be running late at the discretion of the TO
