[Concept]Contagious Edition

[forest roost]

Contagious is an edition that copies a played card's Enhancement to other cards in the hand. Loosely inspired by something @zealous anchor mentioned just now.

Balance questions:

• Should this apply to only scored cards?
• Should lower (2♦️) or higher (A♠️) ranked cards take priority if multiple Contagious cards are played?

What happens if a card already has an Enhancement?
It's overwritten.
What happens if the hand contains multiple Contagious cards?
(Lower/higher)-ranked cards take priority. Other Contagious cards have their Enhancement overwritten.

hi

Maybe for balance it it should have a limit/charge - 20? 30 cards turned?

I think the balance will come from rarity

Like, it'll only be available in packs or as a spectral enhancement

And I also think the rank aspect might lead to interesting interactions, like, maybe you don't want to overwrite existing enhancements

I'm thinking we could have a couple of spectrals for this:

• Bioweapon: Apply Contagious to a selected card
• Sneeze: Apply Contagious to 2 random cards

These could also apply -1 hand size

and yes sneeze will have a sound effect

As for jokers, I have ideas:

• Medicate: Replace the Edition of a Contagious card when played hand contains a face card
• Social Distancing: Played Contagious cards grant X2 Mult if separated by non-face cards

Oh and as a balance thing but also fun Easter egg, glass cards can't pass their Enhancement on because they're behind a screen!

(that or it's down to chance)
