Blaze of Glory Rules Supplement
BATTLE BRIDGE SIDE
DECK
Blaze of Glory introduces more exciting
and realistic ship battles to the Star Trek Customizable Card Game.
With the new Battle Bridge side deck, battles are less predictable, you can fine-tune
your offensive and defensive capabilities to your liking and your opponents will
suffer a variety of damage results: shields depleted, transporters off line, exploding
computer panels... just like we see in Star Trek.
Your Battle Bridge side deck is an optional customized deck of special cards separate
from, and in addition to, your normal game deck. It is shuffled and placed face
down on the table, then "opened" during the doorway seed phase by the new Battle
Bridge Door card. This Doorway card is placed face up on top of your side deck
and counts as one of your seed cards (the face-down cards in the side deck do
not count toward the 30/30 rule).
There are
currently two other side decks available (Q-Continuum and Q's Tent) in the Q-Continuum
expansion set. You may use one, two or all three of these side decks in the same
game if you like.
Your Battle Bridge side
deck is made up of Tactic cards, a new card type introduced in this set. You can
have as many Tactic cards in your side deck as you like, even duplicates. (Tactic
cards come into play only via this side deck; you cannot stock Tactic cards in
your draw deck or your Q's Tent.)
Your used Tactic cards do not go to your discard pile. Instead, whenever
one of them is discarded or otherwise leaves the table, place it face up
underneath your side deck. (This is now also true for your Q-Continuum side deck.)
When your Battle Bridge side deck runs out of face-down Tactic cards, just shuffle
the face-up cards and place them face down again underneath your seeded Battle
Bridge Door.
The Tactic cards in your side deck have two main
purposes: (1) to increase your offensive and/or defensive capabilities during
ship battles and (2) to indicate specific damage affecting your opponent's ships
and facilities.
