Once played, the card is placed offboard near the Shield Wall to indicate it has been permanently destroyed.

+Default
+bullet
+Lasgun
+Use as a weapon in combat. There is no direct defense against a lasgun. It automatically kills an opponents leader. But should you or your opponent play a shield in the same battle, a nuclear explosion occurs and all tokens and spice (even those not involved in the battle) in the territory are lost to the tanks as well as all leaders played (no spice is paid for them). All treachery cards played in the battle must be discarded
+Default
+bullet

+Richard and Eddy Vickery
+bullet
+Residual poison
+Play this card face down in front of a players character shield. A character is then randomly selected of that players (but not the main character) who is considered the target of the Residual Poison. That player must pay you a bribe of 1-4 (you name the amount) on every turn the R.P. card remains there. If the player fails to pay, you reveal the residual poison card and that player loses any the target leader. You collect the leaders spice value from the bank. You may also bluff playing residual poison by playing another card. If you are caught in this you must pay the offended player 3X the amount of the bribe you were demanding. (This may cause a debt which must be paid as soon as possible). You may retract a residual poison/bluff card during any of your moves whereupon it is discarded unseen in all cases. You are pemitted to be caught playing another card in bluff only twice per game, if caught twice you may not bluff any more. The Harkonnen player may bluff four times per game.
+Duel
+bullet
+Semuta drug (poison)
+Used as a poison weapon. This weapon is played in a battle normally and can be blocked by a snooper. If not blocked by a snooper, it does not immediately kill the opposing leader. Instead, it reduces the fighting strength of the leader by one. The Semuta card remains with the leader after the battle, unless the leader is killed. At the beginning of each following game turn, that leaders fighting strength is further reduced by one until the turn it reaches zero, in which case the leader is sent to the tanks and the Semuta card is discarded. Such a leader is revived normally and at full strength. Leaders who have a Semuta card on them lead battle and duel at their reduced strength. When the drugged leader is killed, the winner of the battle collects only the amount of spice equal to their current reduced strength at the time of death.
+Semuta is a powerful narcotic derived from the Ellaca Drug. One dose causes permanent addiction. The drug causes the addict to slowly lose his or her abilities as the addict spends more and more tiem in drug-induced euphoria. Addicts do not die from the drug itself but from deprivation of food, sleep, and other necessities that the addict denies himself.
+Duel
+bullet
+Shield
+Defends a leader against projectile weapons in combat. See also Lasgun.
+Default
+bullet
+Smuggler
+Played at any time. Allows player to steal one spice per occupied desert territory from one opposing player. Bene Gesserit tokens co-existing with other tokens do not count for this purpose. If victim hasnt got enough spice, they give all the spice they have, and may plead for CHOAM charity that round.
+Timothy Paul Coram
+bullet
+Stone burner
+Used as a special weapon. This weapon, played normally in battle, automatically kills an opponents leader and all of his tokens in the territory, plus the friendly leader. Both players may use shields to protect their leaders against a stone burner, but all of the opponents tokens are still removed to the tanks. A player who uses a stone burner in battle still loses the number of tokens he dials for the battle. If a lasgun/shield explosion occurs in the same batatle, the lasgun/shield explosion takes precedence, destroying all leaders, tokens, and spice in the territory. Optional Rule: Unless a Karama card has been used in the same battle to prevent Atreides prescience,character Paul Muaddib is not affected by the blast of a stone burner.
+A stone burner is a small nuclear device which is used to bore through solid rock. While not a very powerful explosive device, it emis a particular radiation over a wide radius, which permanently blinds any unshielded person, thus neutralizing any force in the vicinity of the blast, In Dune Messiah, Paul was so blinded, but used prescience and the eyes of his children to function.
+Duel
+bullet
+Thopter
+Play at any time during the movement phase. This card allows one of your groups to move 3 territories at the time that you play the card, even if they shipped down in the current movement phase. This takes the place of your normal on-planet move for this turn. Although your on-planet move may be taken out of sequence, your shipping onto the planet must be taken in the proper sequence (unless you are the Guild).
+Richard and Eddy Vickery
+bullet
+Thumper / carryall
+Play during the Spice Blow Phase. This acts as a Shai-Hulud being drawn as the next Spice Deck card. Alliances may be formed etc.
+OR Use during the Spice Blow Phase as a carryall. You may take your tokens in a territory where Shai-Hulud has appeared and move them to an adjacent territory.
+OR Use during the Storm Round as a carryall. You may take your tokens in a desert territory that will be lost due to the storm and move them to an adjacent territory. (Most territories on the map have an adjacent safe haven from worm/storm) The territory moved into may be a stronghold and/or occupied. Combat may result in the combat round from this.
+Duel
+bullet
+Truthtrance
+Play at any time. You may ask one other player any yes/no question. The question must be answered truthfully.
+Default
+bullet
+Troop transport
+Played during movement round. Allows player to make a second shipment onto Dune at regular cost (paying the Guild as usual). The Guild player can block one but not both of the shipments with a Karama card - the Guild player chooses which shipment is blocked.

+Default
+bullet
+Weather scanner
+Played any time before the Storm Round. Allows the player to look at the storm counter for the coming round (like the Fremen player). If the Fremen player get this card, he/she/it can either a) discard the card as a worthless card (in battle) or b) pay the Guild player 3 spice to remove the card from the game.
+Timothy Paul Coram
+bullet
+Weirding way
+Played before one battle, BEFORE plans are made. Causes opponent to lose double the number of committed tokens in the battle.
+Timothy Paul Coram
