Daga

Day Character Card #42

When played, you may discard another card you have played earlier. If you do, play the top 2 cards of the Middle deck. If you don’t have another card or do not want to discard a card, you can instead use Daga’s effect later.

To do this, you first choose a card to keep from your hand as usual, but before revealing your chosen cards, you discard yours and instead play the top 2 cards of the Middle deck that round.

• If you have copied a card with Princess Bella, Adventure Boy or Humpe and choose to discard that character or the card they are copying, you also lose the copy. The copying effect can then be reused.

• You can also use Daga’s effect when playing extra cards from Brother Martin, Olle Niklasson, The Yule Goat or Vill-Vallareman.

• You can only use Daga’s effect once. (Turn the card sideways to remember.)

(To discard a card, put it face-down on the bottom of the Middle deck. Do not reveal it to the other players.)
