Clowns

Purchase the Clowns Faction on Forgefire!

Honk, honk—the Clowns are here! And—wow—they just keep coming. How did they fit so many in that one, tiny car? Get ready to fill the Big Top with applause. The Clowns juggle actions between the deck and discard, honk opponents’ noses, and smash bases, all while remaining perfectly in character (even if it scares the children... and me).

Clowns are from the Smash Up Clowns set and do not have a Titan card.

Cards - Minions

1x Zobo the Clown
Illustrated by: Francisco Rico Torres

Power 5 - Ongoing: Instead of your regular action play you may play a standard action from your discard pile, and then place it on the bottom of your deck instead of your hand or the discard pile.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • You place the action you play on the bottom of the deck only if it would normally go to your hand or the discard pile. If it would go someplace else (e.g. the madness deck, another player's hand, buried, stored, in stasis, or boxed) it still goes to that place.
1x Mumu Adams

Power 4 - Ongoing: After the first time you play an action each turn, draw a card.

Errata: No

  • None
1x Nickelsmart

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • You place the action you play on the bottom of the deck only if it would normally go to your hand or the discard pile. If it would go someplace else (e.g. the madness deck, another player's hand, buried, stored, in stasis, or boxed) it still goes to that place.
