You may have noticed that many of the cards display icons that are not explained in the Grimoire. These icons indicate a card’s Traits, a completely optional facet of the game. Some traits are only relevant to the optional rules of certain Guests.
Optional Conflict Rule: When a player is in a Conflict with a Minion, their Prop and/or Ally bonus is doubled if the Prop or Ally has a trait which is the opposite of the Minion’s trait. If the Prop or Ally has a trait which matches a Minion’s trait, their bonus is ignored! These bonuses are cumulative.
This does not apply to Conflicts between players.
EXAMPLE: A player is in a Conflict with the Ice Cream Clone. The player has the Blazing Sword, which is both Sharp and Hot. The Clone is Cold. Since Hot is the opposite of Cold, the Blazing Sword’s bonus is doubled to +4. If the Clone were also Blunt, the Sword’s bonus would again be doubled to +8, since Sharp is the opposite of Blunt.
