Here is the complete KULT card list. The Minor Arcana cards are listed here. The Major Arcana are listed on Page One. If there is a question or comment about a certain card, it will be found after the card listing. A card is only listed is there are questions about it. If you have a question you do not see on this list, or that is handled above, feel free to e-mail me at bryan@thewinternet.com! Read carefully, some of the questions are actually hidden tips! Also, some of the wquestions may be fairly "obvious." I decided to be thorough, just in case!
THE MINOR ARCANA
ACE IN THE HOLE
Do GEBURAH's or GOLAB's special abilities break the tie created by ACE IN THE HOLE?
No.
AGITATOR
May I play an AGITATOR to move a Pop Marker within my own Cast?
No. The Pop Marker must move to a different Cast.
ALTER YOUR BODY
Does the ALTER YOUR BODY Spell also provide the "duplicate" with the source-Being's CV?
Yes, plus any attachments and modifiers from outside sources.
What if I cast ALTER YOUR BODY on my Being and "duplicate" a Pawn in MALKUTH's or NAHEMOTH's Mystic Crosses, does my Being also get the +1 to CV bonus provided my the Major Arcanum card?
Yes.
ANDREA BERGSTROM
Is ANDREA BERGSTROM affected by cards that affect Lictors or those that affect Pawns?
She is affected by both.
ANTAGONISM
If my Creature is Influenced with an ANTAGONISM, am I allowed to attack with it, or only my Adversaries?
You may attack with your own ANTAGONIZED Creature as well.
ANTON TEPTOV
Do the Pawns attached to ANTON TEPTOV provide their effects?
No. They lose their card effects, and may not attack, be attacked, or hold Pop Markers. Their only role is to provide TEPTOV with +1 to his CV.
AVENGER
May the AVENGER be used to defend a Pawn in another player's Mystic Cross?
Yes, if you wish. Notice that the wording states he may defend in the place of "a" Pawn under attack, not necessarily "your" Pawn. Also, you do not need the other player's permission. You may Repel and take over, and there is noting the other player may do about it! (Of course, if the player REALLY wants his own Pawn to be attacked, he could play a PEARLS FOR THE SWINES, but that doesn't stop you from performing another Repel!) This leads to a number of good tricks, especially in multi-player games!
AVENGING ANGEL
May my AVENGING ANGEL attack another Being in the attacking player's Mystic Cross if the initial attacking Being was defeated?
No. The AVENGING ANGEL will only retaliate against a living attacker. However, it may attack the attacker if the initial combat was a tie!
BAAL RESHEF-LORD OF PESTILENCE
When BAAL RESHEF Turns himself to DISEASE a Being, is the -2 to CV permanent?
Yes.
A Pop Marker sits on BAAL RESHEF (who sits in a Cast) and becomes INFECTED. It then Sways to a Region in the Stage (it is still INFECTED, but this does not affect Regions). Through card play, the INFECTED Pop Marker is then moved back to BAAL RESHEF. Is BAAL RESHEF discarded?
Yes.
BLUE-COLLAR WORKER
What are ITEM cards?
Some Influence cards are designated as ITEMS. Examples are the CAMERA and the HANDGUN. The BLUE-COLLAR WORKER allows you to play these cards regardless of which Suits you control. You must still follow Station Indicators. In effect, the BLUE-COLLAR WORKER makes ITEMS for you!
BORN AGAIN
When I resurrect a Being with the BORN AGAIN card, does the Being still have it's special abilities?
Yes. The only thing the Being suffers from its resurrection is the -2 to its CV.
BUSINESS EXECUTIVE
How can I Turn the BUSINESS EXECUTIVE to Sway a Pop Marker from him and then Turn him after the move?
Sorry, this could have been worded better. Here is a better version: The BUSINESS EXECUTIVE will allow you Sway one Pop Marker. After the Pop Marker is moved, cards are Turned as normal. Also Turn the BUSINESS EXECUTIVE if it was not one of the cards involved in the Sway.
CARDINAL GIORGIO BIOTTI
May I Repel a Pop Marker to attach a PRIEST in another player's Mystic Cross to my CARDINAL BIOTTI?
Yes!
Do PRIESTS attached to CARDINAL BIOTTI provide one Rose each?
No. They lose their card effects. Their only role is to provide BIOTTI with +2 to his CV.
CARRIER OF PESTILENCE
Some cards mention that combat ends in an "unbreakable tie". Does the CARRIER OF PESTILENCE break these ties?
No. Unbreakable ties may not be broken, so the combat ends in a tie with no winner or loser.
CLEANSING
What happens to attachments on cards that are returned to their draw piles?
They are discarded as normal.
CONTORT OTHER
If a Being that has been CONTORTED is discarded, does it revert to it's previous form?
Yes.
If I have an extra copy of the card that my Being has been CONTORTED into, may I exchange the cards?
Sure, if that will help you remember. But the extra card must have come from outside the game. Once the CONTORTED card is discarded, be sure to change it back!
CROSSBREED
Does a CROSSBREEDED Pawn gain the CV of the Creature?
No, it keeps its original CV. It only gains the special abilities in the Creature's text box.
CURSE
If my Being is CURSED, does it receive modifiers that double it's CV, like from MALICE?
No. Anything that increases the Being's CV is not permitted.
DON MICHAEL CIMARRO
Does DON MICHAEL CIMARRO give all PAWNS OF DEATH in play +2 to their CVs, or just those in the same Mystic Cross?
He gives the +2 to CV bonus to all PAWNS OF DEATH in play.
DREAM WORLD
Once this card is in my Mystic Cross, is it still considered a Spell card, or just a Region?
It is just a Region. Assume the card "transformed" into a Region card.
May I play POWER FAILURE on a DREAM WORLD after it has been successfully put into a Mystic Cross?
No. POWER FAILURE may only be used on a Spell AS IT IS BEING CAST.
DRIFTER
When the DRIFTER "copies" another Pawn's abilities, does this include attachments and CV or just what is written in the text box of the copied card?
The DRIFTER only gains the special abilities written in the notes box of the Pawn's card. It does not gain the Pawn's CV or any effects from attachments or other outside sources.
DRUG DEALER
May the DRUG DEALER use its ability during combat?
Yes! As long as it does this during the "modify combat" portion of combat. And it may use it's ability as many times as you wish to Repel. Once I played a game in which an Adversary attacked my DRUG DEALER after he broke a pact made earlier in the game. I knew the DRUG DEALER was toast, so I Repelled 4 times and discarded all of the Adversary's Pawns! I didn't win the game but it sure was fun!
If the DRUG DEALER is in combat with a Pawn, may it use its ability to discard the Pawn?
Yes. This ends the combat immediately. However, the DRUG DEALER did not defeat the opponent in combat, since no combat was resolved! Therefore, any Pop Marker on the discarded Pawn is treated like any other Pop Marker that has it's base card discarded out from under it (see pg. 27 of the rules).
FAST REACTIONS
Some cards mention that combat ends in an "unbreakable tie". Does FAST REACTIONS break these ties?
No. Unbreakable ties may not be broken, so the combat ends in a tie with no winner or loser.
FEMME FATALE
When the FEMME FATALE is attached to another Pawn, do you have to follow the Station Indicators on the Femme Fatale? In other words, am I allowed to attach the FEMME FATALE to Stations other than the First and Third?
Yes, you may attach it to any Pawn in the same Mystic Cross.
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
If additional CV modifiers are played after FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE is played, are they still provided to both combatants?
Yes. This card affects the whole combat.
FLY IN THE OINTMENT
Does FLY IN THE OINTMENT effect an entire Suit or just one "icon" of one particular Suit? In other words, does it cancel all of my Skulls or do I just have one less Skull?
It only cancels ONE of a particular Suit. So you would only have one less Skull, not lose ALL your Skulls. This card is often used to force "one more" Repel. (Also, see TIMING).
GRENADE
When do the GRENADE'S effects take place?
As soon as you announce you will discard the GRENADE, the combat immediately ends and the opponent loses. The only thing that will stop it's effects are cards which DIRECTLY affect the GRENADE (see TIMING).
HOOKED UP
May my HOOKED UP Pawn "borrow" any other Pawn's special ability, or just Pawns in my Mystic Cross?
It may Turn and "borrow" the abilities of any Pawn in play.
How long does the "borrowed"special ability last?
It is a one-shot effect per Turning. You may gain the use of the effects once, but must Turn the cards again to gain the effect again.
But how can the HOOKED UP Pawn use the special ability if it is Turned?
Ah.... Hmmm.... Well.... Good question. That one got by! The Pawn uses the special ability WHILE it is Turning - so fast that it seems as though the Pawn is Turned, but it isn't! Really. Honest. We said so....
HUNGER SPIRIT
Please clarify the first sentence of this card.
Basically, the HUNGER SPIRIT may not be defeated in combat unless it's opponent has a (modified) CV of 10 or more.
What do you mean by "full turn"?
In other words, if the same Pop Marker sits on the HUNGER SPIRIT from the beginning of it's player's turn until the end of it's player's turn, it is removed from the game.
INCINERATOR
When do the INCINERATOR'S effects take place?
As soon as you announce you will use the INCINERATOR, the combat immediately ends and the opponent loses. The only thing that will stop it's effects are cards which DIRECTLY affect the INCINERATOR (see TIMING).
JONATHAN HAYWORTH
Does JONATHAN HAYWORTH give +2 to the CVs of all HUNGER SPIRITS and HAURYS in play, or just those in the same Mystic Cross?
He affects all HUNGER SPIRITS and HAURYS in play.
JUST IN TIME
May I play a "Play at any time" Commandment card, play JUST IN TIME on it, and then play it again? For example, may I play AGITATOR, move a Pop Marker from my Adversary's Cast to mine, play JUST IN TIME on the AGITATOR, and then play AGITATOR again right away to take another Pop Marker?
Yes. That is all perfectly legal.
KINGPIN
When does the KINGPIN allow me to draw up to 10 cards? Right after I Proclaim him or during my next Draw Step?
During your next Draw Step.
If the KINGPIN is Turned am I still allowed to have 10 cards in my hand?
Yes. Notice that the KINGPIN states "While in your Mystic Cross..." this takes precedence over Turned status.
What happens if the KINGPIN is put into CHESED'S or GAMICHICOTH'S Mystic Cross?
The word NEVER on these Major Arcanum cards takes precedence over the advantage the KINGPIN provides. These Major Arcana are still limited to 4 cards in their hands. (Tip: don't bother putting the KINGPIN in your deck if you are playing one of these two Major Arcanum cards).
KNIGHT OF LIGHT
See AVENGING ANGEL.
LEONARD SAKHIL
If the only Pawns in play are in the same Mystic Cross as LEONARD SAKHIL, if he attacks, must he attack one of those Pawns?
Yes.
What if the only Pawns in play are all in Stages? May LEONARD SAKHIL attack other Beings, or may he not attack at all?
He may attack other eligible Beings. Basically, LEONARD must attack a Pawn if there is one available to attack, and provided he can legally attack it. Otherwise, he may attack anything.
Then if LEONARD has a TRACKING DEVICE, must he then attack those Pawns in Stages?
Yes. Now he is ABLE to attack them, so he must!
LICTOR
When cards mention that they affect LICTORS, do they mean this card, or any card with the LICTOR designation?
They affect any card with the LICTOR designation.
MALICE
What happens when a MASS SUGGESTION and a MALICE are affecting the same combat?
The effects cancel each other out.
What happens when a STRAPPED and a MALICE are affecting the same combat?
The effects also cancel each other out.
MANIPHESTOS
If the Pawn attached to the MANIFESTOS is somehow taken away from it (like with a TORN ASUNDER), may it gain another Pawn attachment through a subsequent combat?
Yes.
MARBAS-LORD OF PAIN
When may I attach my Pawns to MARBAS?
You may attach a Pawn in the same Mystic Cross to MARBAS at any time. MARBAS may have any number of Pawns attached to him. Any Pop Marker on the Pawn are treated as if the Pawn was discarded (see pg. 27 of the rulebook).
MASS SUGGESTION
What happens when a MASS SUGGESTION and a MALICE are affecting the same combat?
The effects cancel each other out.
What happens when a STRAPPED and a MASS SUGGESTION Are affecting the same Being?
Since modifiers are not counted with either card, one is the affecting card and the other is an ignored modifier. Since STRAPPED makes a Beings CV halved rounded DOWN and MASS SUGGESTION halves the CV rounded UP, the STRAPPED card should take precedence.
MISGUIDANCE
Will there ever be a card that lets you Proclaim Regions or play other cards that are of opposite-affiliation, the way that MISGUIDANCE allows you to Proclaim opposite-affiliated Beings?
Probably not.
MOLEST SOUL
When may I cast this spell?
You may cast it at any time.
If I cast MOLEST SOUL, do I get Pop Markers for PAWNS OF MADNESS that were in other player's Mystic Crosses?
Yes.
MORGUE
Is the MORGUE affected by cards that affect Regions or cards that affect Influence cards?
Both.
NATURAL WEAPON
Does the NATURAL WEAPON count as the only WEAPON a Being may use during combat?
Yes. This was not stated on the card due to limited space. A Being may only use one WEAPON during combat (see WEAPONS, above).
NEONATE
When I move the NEONATE by Repelling a Pop Marker, do attachments and/or Pop Markers on the NEONATE move as well?
Yes.
NO MAN'S LAND
Do you Recruit Pop Markers onto the NO MAN'S LAND? And if so, are they then removed from the game?
Once the NO MAN'S LAND is placed on a Station, it becomes a barren wasteland. No Pop Markers would want to be Recruited there! So the answer is no, you may not Recruit a Pop Marker onto this Station. However, if a Pop Marker is moved there by other means, it is then removed from the game.
OAXICI
May I Repel a Pop Marker and attach an OAXICI to JUAN MARTINEZ, even if JUAN is in another Mystic Cross?
Yes. But only an OAXICI'S controller may decide to attach it. JUAN MARTINEZ'S controller may not make that decision!
OUT OF CONTROL
Are Pop Markers in Hubs affected by OUT OF CONTROL?
Yes.
PIERRE LOMBARD
If a Pawn attacks PIERRE LOMBARD, may he defend normally?
Yes.
PLAGUE
Are Pop Markers in Hubs affected by PLAGUE?
Yes.
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
May the PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR allow you to look at the top 2 cards of any Draw Pile?
Yes.
PROFESSIONAL
Does the card text mean that the PROFESSIONAL has a base CV of 1 when he is attacked but a base CV or 6 when he attacks?
Not quite. He has a BASE CV of 3 - that does not change. When he is attacked, his MODIFIED CV is 1. When he attacks his MODIFIED CV is 6. The PROFESSIONAL always fights with a modifed CV!
Then what happens when a CURSE is put on the PROFESSIONAL?
Since the CURSE negates all positive modifiers, the cursed PROFESSIONAL will fight with a CV of 3 when it attacks.
PROTECTIVE SKIN
The PROTECTIVE SKIN says that an opponent must have a modified CV greater than twice the base CV of the Being with the PROTECTIVE SKIN in order to defeat it. What if the Being with the PROTECTIVE SKIN also has a lot of other attachments that make its MODIFIED CV greater than double its base CV? In other words, suppose I have a PRIEST with a PROTECTIVE SKIN. Opponents need a CV of 7 or more to defeat him. But then I give the PRIEST an AUTOMATIC RIFLE and FAST REACTIONS. I can Repel a Pop Marker to give him a total modified CV of 10, so an opponent needs an 11 to beat him. What happens?
A Being in combat may always use the method of CV modification that will be to it's best advantage.
PURGE POWER
This card is also discussed at length in the MAJOR ARCANA section on Page One.
May I Sway Pop Markers onto my Major Arcanum card if it is Turned?
No. You may not Sway to any card that is Turned.
When does my Major Arcanum card flip over?
The same time all your other Turned cards are flipped over - at the and of your next turn. So if your Major Arcanum card was Turned during your turn, it is flipped over at the end of that turn. If it was Turned during an Adversary's turn, it is flipped over at the end of your next turn.
RAGE OF THE MASSES
May I Repel Pop Markers from my Hub after I play RAGE OF THE MASSES (gaining a Suit for each Repel) to put more Pop Markers into my Stage and Cast, thereby increasing the bonus given from RAGE OF THE MASSES?
Yes, this is perfectly legal, as long as you perform your Repels during the "combat modification" portion of combat.
RAZIDE
When cards mention that they affect RAZIDES, do they mean this card, or any card with the RAZIDE designation?
They affect any card with the RAZIDE designation.
REGENERATION
A Being with REGENERATION on it is killed. I place it and the attachments I played on it on the top of my Draw pile, like the card says. The Being also has two attachments on it that were played by other players. The REGENERATION card says that the cards are returned to the other players, but what happens to their cards?
They are discarded. They may not be placed on their Draw piles.
RESEARCHER
Do I decide to exchange the Hub card before or after I examine it?
After. Remember that no one (including you) may look at the card you replace it with.
If I decide to exchange the Hub card, is it placed on top of the Draw Pile where the other card came from?
Yes. The cards are exchanged.
RUN, YOU FOOL, RUN!
May I attack a Pawn and then immediately play a RUN, YOU FOOL, RUN on it to force it to be returned to its owner's hand?
Yes. This is often a very good way to get rid of annoying attachments!
SABBATH
Do GEBURAH's or GOLAB's special abilities break the tie created by SABBATH?
No.
SADOMASOCHIST
May I attack and defeat my own Being, then play SADOMASOCHIST to attack another player's Being at +5 to CV, saving my attacked Being in the process?
Yes, this is perfectly legal.
SANATORIUM
Is the SANATORIUM affected by cards that affect Regions or cards that affect Influence cards?
Both.
SERAPHIM
Does Swaying cause the SERAPHIM to Turn?
No.
SIAMESE TWIN
I attack a Pawn with my VOICE OF PAIN. The Pawn has SIAMESE TWIN on it. Does the VOICE OF PAIN kill both the SIAMESE TWIN and the Pawn or just the SIAMESE TWIN?
Just the SIAMESE TWIN.
SKIN TRADE
May I play SKIN TRADE even if I have no Pop Markers in my Cast?
Yes! Often this is the best time to play it!
If I play SKIN TRADE, do I have to return a Pop Marker to a Station where one resided before, or may I place one on a Station that didn't have a Pop Marker on it before the SKIN TRADE?
You may place the Pop Markers on any legal Stations, no matter how they were previously arranged.
If I play SKIN TRADE, may I place Pop Markers on Turned cards?
Yes. This is not Recruiting. You are simply putting the Pop Markers on cards where they are allowed to reside. This includes any face-up or face-don card that is allowed to hold one or more Pop Markers.
SLAVES OF PAIN
If I defeat a Being in combat, and the SLAVES OF PAIN are discarded instead, do I still get the Pop Marker that was sitting on my original opponent? If not, do I get a Pop Marker that is sitting on the SLAVES OF PAIN?
Because you defeated the original opponent, you get any Pop Markers that are sitting on it, even if the Being was not discarded. You do not get any Pop Marker on the SLAVES OF PAIN, since you did not "win" them from that card.
SORRY
May I play a SORRY on a SORRY that has just been played, thereby canceling it's effects and re-activating the card that was hit with the original SORRY?
You bet! I've played in games where 4 or 5 SORRY cards were thrown out in succession. Now that's fun! (Also, see TIMING, above).
STRAPPED
What happens when a STRAPPED and a MASS SUGGESTION Are affecting the same Being?
Since modifiers are not counted with either card, one is the affecting card and the other is an ignored modifier. Since STRAPPED makes a Beings CV halved rounded DOWN and MASS SUGGESTION halves the CV rounded UP, the STRAPPED card should take precedence.
What happens when a STRAPPED and a MALICE are affecting the same combat?
The effects cancel each other out.
TAKEO OSHIMA
Does TAKEO OSHIMA give +2 to the CVs of all PAWNS OF DEATH in play, or just those in the same Mystic Cross?
He affects all PAWNS OF DEATH in play.
TELEKINESIS
When an ITEM is moved with TELEKINESIS, are Station Indicators taken into account?
No.
TEMPORARY INSANITY
When may I cast this spell?
You may cast it at any time, except during a combat in progress.
May I attack Beings in any order I choose, even moving between Mystic Crosses and back?
Yes, in any order you choose.
Must I attack my own Beings?
Yes, if they are legal defenders (face-up and in your Cast).
THE BORDERLAND
Are Beings Proclaimed onto the same Station as THE BORDERLAND affected by the BORDERLAND in any way? Are they attachments?
No. THE BORDERLAND merely allows you to put more than one BASE CARD on a Station. Each Being may hold Pop Markers, Sway, Recruit, attack and be attacked as normal. THE BORDERLAND simply makes the Station big enough to hold as many BASE CARDS as you wish. However, if THE BORDERLAND is discarded, so are all of the Beings on it, except one.
THE CROSS
May I Recruit onto the Fifth and Sixth Stations, and may Beings on these Stations attack and be attacked?
Yes and yes!
THE VOICE OF THE BLOOD
If THE VOICE OF THE BLOOD is in my Stage, and I am able to attack with her, must I?
No. Even if you are able to attack with THE VOICE OF THE BLOOD while it is in your Stage (through card play), you do not have to. The only time you MUST attack with THE VOICE OF THE BLOOD is if it is in your Cast.
THE VOID
What happens of CHESED or GAMICHICOTH has THE VOID?
During normal play, when these Major Arcanum discard their single card during their discard step, they may immediately draw a card to replace it. If they have THE VOID, they must first choose how many cards to discard, discard them all at once, and then draw to replace them. This ends their turn. They may NOT continue to draw a replace cards as long as they wish.
TWO IS MORE THAN ONE
May both members of the "attacking team" use attachments like WEAPONS? Therefore, must they also be restricted by "bad" attachments?
Yes. The modified CVs of the two Beings are added together, not just their base CVs.
UNDER THE SKIN
I played UNDER THE SKIN on my Adversary. During his turn, he Turned a Region that provided some Suits. Do I lose the use of those Suits?
Yes.
UNHOLY HUNGER
May I play this card on a Being without a Pop Marker on it to immediately discard that Being?
Yes. (Also, see TIMING for a detailed example).
VACUUM
May I Sway a Pop Markers using the BUSINESS EXECUTIVE or KARMA if the VACUUM is running?
Yes. VACUUM only prohibits the Sway STEP of a player's turn.
VETERAN
If I have 2 VETERANS in my Mystic Cross, do the SOLDIERS in my Mystic Cross gain +4 to their CVs?
Yes, the effects are cumulative.
VICTIM OF CRIME
What do you mean by "a Station next to the Pawn's"?
The First Station is next to the Second Station. The Second Station is next to the First and Third Stations. The Third Station is next to the Second and Fourth Stations. Finally, the Fourth Station is next to the Third Station. If a Pawn on the Third Station is the VICTIM OF CRIME, there must be a Being in either the Second Station OR the Fourth Station (or both) at all times, or the Pawn is discarded. Even though a Being may be on the First Station, that does not count as being "next to" the Pawn.
May I play this card on a Pawn that is "alone" in its Cast to immediately discard it?
Yes.
VOICE OF PAIN
If the VOICE OF PAIN attacks a Pawn, is there ANY time to play combat-oriented cards or other special abilities? For example, if it attacks my DRUG DEALER, does the DRUG DEALER have any time to take out a few Pawns before it is discarded?
No. Once a player announces that the VOICE OF PAIN will attack a Pawn, the combat is instantaneously resolved.
If my Pawn is attacked by a VOICE OF PAIN, can I save it by playing a RUN, YOU FOOL, RUN!?
No. There is no time, since this card would normally be played during the "combat modification" portion of the combat. Since the combat steps are not performed, there is no chance to play this card.
So, ah, what exactly IS that on the card?
The person on the card is pulling out her own intestines. It isn't what you think.
VORTEX
May I cast VORTEX to switch two Beings in an Adversary's Mystic Cross, forcing BOTH to be discarded?
Yes.
YOSHIKO NAKAMURA
Does YOSHIKO NAKAMURA give +3 to the CVs of all BUSINESS EXECUTIVES and COMPANY CAREERISTS in play, or just those in the same Mystic Cross?
She affects all BUSINESS EXECUTIVES and COMPANY CAREERISTS in play.
