Faction Rules
Tribute to Geltakaenogh
Pieces on this team have unique [Tribute] conditions. When those listed conditions are met, roll their dice and sum the results (this roll is affected by any Dis/Advantage). You may choose an effect from the table that is equal to or lesser than the roll total.
| Dice Total | Effect |
|---|---|
| 1 or greater | You may place this piece into an unoccupied adjacent square. |
| 4 or greater | Remove all Curse or Disadvantage token from this piece or an adjacent ally. |
| 7 or greater | Place an adjacent enemy into a square which is unoccupied and adjacent to this piece. |
| 10 or greater | Bless this piece and all adjacent allies, then Curse all adjacent enemies. |
Chaotic and Relentless
At the start of a non-King Beastfolk piece's Reactivation, if you would give them a Disadvantage token for Reactivating, instead give an enemy piece of your choice an Advantage token, then roll the Reactivating piece’s dice for a Tribute.

FAQ & Elaborations
- ↑ When applying the tokens granted by this upgrade, you cannot choose the same piece to receive Advantage tokens more than once. As these tokens are given out when the game starts (before the first Activation) they cannot cause Blessings on allies to produce Advantage tokens.
- ↑ As rolls done this way are single-die rolls, they can never be at Advantage or Disadvantage. Should a Beastfolk piece with a Dis/Advantage token roll their Tribute as one die being rolled up to two times, the token cannot be spent and applied to the roll, and thus would remain on the piece.
- ↑ Although this Tribute roll is happening for another piece, resolve it during this Queen’s Re/Activation. If you have multiple pieces with the same rank, choose one to be the target of this.
- ↑ You need to roll both dice for the Tribute for this bonus effect to happen. Two single-die rolls (like those granted by the King’s Multitudes of Gifts rule) will not gain any of these bonus effects.
- ↑ You must remove 1 of each token type from pieces on the board if possible, even if it means removing a beneficial token from one of your own pieces.
- ↑ Should the Death card already be active when this is triggered, you can make it active again.
