Special Rules
'Tis Better to Give Than Receive
St. Nurgolas is here to give out his gift to all. Before game 3, prior to the coin toss, each coach will nominate 3 non-Star Players to receive a gift for the duration of the game. The opposing coach will roll a D3 to determine which player receives the gift and then a D6 to determine the gift received.
D6 Roll Results:
- 1-2: Foul Appearance
- 3-5: Dirty Player +1
- 6: Tentacles
If a nominated player already has the skill they would obtain as a result of the D6 roll, the opposing coach will reroll the die once. If the result is still a skill the player already has nothing happens and the player does not receive an additional skill.
