RANDOM EVENTS FOR ANTIKE II

The random event deck comprises 48 cards. Each time a player gains a personage card, they must draw one card
from the deck, follow the instructions and discard. Some cards are retained for later use. The event deck is in-
tended to add atmosphere without unbalancing the game and contains a mixture of penalties and bonuses.
Only one event card can be played per player per round; however, event cards played by two different players
can cancel each other out. Unless indicated in the text that the card may be retained, it must be played immedi-
ately. Eg. ‘Production Increase’, ‘Spoils of War’ and ‘Prosperity’ cards cannot be held until you have more per-
sonages or cities, but must be played the moment you draw it.
