Daedalus wrote:A lot of your cards already have short enough descriptions, so I'll go to the next longest one, the Yeti. You did a pretty good job with it already. From the original card:

    * If the Yeti inflicts damage, it grabs the target in a powerful
    hug. During the Hero's next turn, the hug inflicts 1 point of
    damage unless the Hero rolls a white shield, breaking the
    hug. As long as the yeti is hugging a hero, both
    cannot move nor attack. Other heroes may try
    to release the trapped hero by killing the Yeti.
The abridged version of the ability:

    * If a Yeti damages a Hero, it hugs him for 1 Body
    Point of undefended damage on future Morcar
    turns until killed. Neither combatant may
    move or take any other action. Rolling a
    white shield on a Hero's turn frees him.
If necessary, the description could be shortened further by changing Body Points to BP and deleting Morcar. The way the ability is worded, a Hero that escapes a hug with a white shield could also attack and move on the same turn. I figured this is your intent and left that in. I did change when the hug damage is appplied back to Morcar's turn of the original version. I thought it best, as this always allows all of the other Heroes a chance to heal the hugged Hero before hug damage is applied. It also works better in my mind that a monster does it's damage on its turn.


your description is actually incorrect. The hero takes hug damage on his own turn, unless he frees himself by rolling a white shield.
Yours says the hero takes 1 damage on Morcar's turn, which he can never defend against. In the official version, you might get lucky and free yourself without taking hug damage.

lol, thanks for the nice reply ^^
I added him, because I have the mini from Dragon Strike, and I found a neat picture of him, so I might just as well make a card ;)

In my effort to truncate the description it looks like I've gone too far. It seems I haven't sufficiently seperated the concept of continual hug damage from the original hit that scores damage and triggers it. Perhaps changing the opening phrase could help?

    "If a Yeti has damaged a Hero, then it hugs for 1 Body Point of undefended damage on future Morcar turns until it is killed."
If this doesn't do it for you, then going ahead with what you already have works. Like I said, you've already shortened things well, and I had to push hard to significantly reduce it.
