Resident Evil: Mutation (Unofficial Mansion Expansion)

[TRash]

Printed out the Mansion and mutation cards and played a few games. The mutation is great, I would love to see cards with effects themed for this mechanic. A mansion with all infected having effects is great design as well. Favorite being the Los Illuminatos Shield, had a guy go in with one gun at 90 Damage saying "Whatever it is its dead!" and flipped that. The effects shook up typical game plans big time and gave a whole new experience. Now I really hope this isn't the last we will see of this.

I have a new way of using the Mutation cards and ive had the chance to play test it a bit. Ive described it before, the Mutation cards are split into two piles and shuffled separately. at the beginning of each round you reveal the top card of each pile and at the end of the round you discard them into separate piles to be shuffled once you run out. The piles are broken into Minor Mutations and Major Mutations, the card lists are

Minor Mutation
+20 Ammo
+20 Gold
+1 Explore
+1 Buy
+1 Action
+5 Infected Damage
Draw 1 Card
Players Must Explore At least Once

Major Mutation
1st Explore used Reveals 2 Cards
Weapons 40 Cost and Less may be used twice
Defeated Partners return to play
Discard 1 Card
+5 Character Damage
+10 Infected Damage
Draw 1 Card
Players Must Explore At least Once

I still have a few infected id like to finish but i really wanted to finish the Mutation setup. There are also a few optional Mutation cards like Players take 10 Damage at the beginning of their turn, Players Heal 10..., When an Infected is Revealed the attacking player gets +1 Explore. Id love to hear some feedback or even suggestions for Mutation Cards. Currently each pile has 8 cards, even though its technically done the way it is i wanted to get each to 10. My play group seemed to really enjoy the Mutations and the new way to use them described here. It allows for combinations like: weapons 40 or less may be used twice and +20 ammo, or players must explore and 1st explore reveals 2 cards. Anyway i still have just as much fun making these cards as i do playing this game, i hope that anyone out there using them enjoys it as much as i do. If anything ive created and posted on this forum has or will become a staple in the gameplay of people out there then ive done what i set out to do.

As soon as I get new toner cartridges for my printer, I'm printing a play-set of the mutation cards. I'm really excited to try those out in a game, because it seems like a VERY cool dynamic to add to the game.

Not to be a pain, but shouldn't Green Herb #2 be a token since it attaches and is shuffled into the mansion?

[Fistocuffs]

Once you have the chance to try them out Torne, please let me know what you think. Sirenz you arent being a pain but no, it shouldnt be a token, Green Herb #2 is based off the Yellow Herb Mechanic. If you look at Yellow Herb, it too is an item and works the same way (once revealed, it attaches to the player).

If anyone can confirm this for me that would be great, I'm on my girlfriends computer and i cant see any of the pics from my latest post. If there is a problem, ill reupload them whenever i get the chance.

The post at 10 mins before? There arnt any pics with it. Also I will try the new Mutation method Thursday and report results.

Oops, didn't look at the yellow herb.

[Fistocuffs]

I was referring to the post with the green herb # 2 and the Mutation cards. For some reason i still cant see them on my gfs comp and i havent been at home to reupload them.
