Plagued Room
Every turn, roll adding the hero's Health. If the score is 7 or less, the hero suffers –1 Attack, –1 Defense and –1 Smarts. These effects stack each time. Defeat all minions to defeat this encounter.
Good idea, but how do you keep track of wich hero has a penalty and wich not. and also if they stack, how do you rember how much times your wizard was infected? was it 3 times? no that was the warior! 2 times? no that was the thief.
The use of counters or tokens in card games can keep track of anything. The token can be any type of small item.
In creating a hero, you have tokens to count the stat number, or you have a card with a lot of numbers (say 1 to 10) and a token resting on one of the numbers denotes the stat.
You take away, add, or move tokens to track the stats, effects, etc.
Also, if a card effects a character/monster or anything else for a number of rounds - the card is placed in play and a number of tokens equal to the length of time the card is in effect is placed on it. So say, 4 rounds, 4 tokens, 1 token to be removed in the an upkeep phase, which of course is the phase when you take note of all possible effects currently in play.
My first post on the subject, I think the card game idea is a great one. I've long thought of my own online Call of Cthulhu card game - but never got it off the ground.
