Additional Gnomish Hoard rules – The Gnomes of Zurich like well-heeled Teams, but they like to have the cash in hand more – and will reward the teams with a higher bank balance. At the start of each match, it is determined which team has the higher bank balance remaining. This team may then choose to spend some of the funds during the match by paying 10 K each time. Remember, Spending money from the bank will be removed immediately. However, this will reduce the TV of your team and may have an effect on the handicap calculation for later matches:
Modify a Kick-Off Result by 1 (up or down)
Re-Roll any one Dice Roll for 10 K. Remember, this works similar to the RR rules, so only one RR per turn is allowed.
Once per match Re-Roll a failed Re-Roll (costs 30 K).
Additional Game Rules
GAME 1 – Fan Participation – the Fans have all been issued with free Rocks to throw – First Half, Each Kick-Off result is applied as usual, but another D6 must be thrown – on a roll of 1 or 2, the Fans also throw a Rock. / Second Half, most rocks have been expended and a rock is only thrown when a 1 is rolled. Both teams are equally affected – only FAME +2 adds +1 to the Dice Roll, FAME +1 gives no advantage.
Gnomish Hoard Cash may be used to add +1 to the Dice Roll if paying 20 K. Both teams can choose to pay.
GAME 2 – Secret Weapons – A secret weapon is stashed in every corner – a player reaching this corner (may not be placed within 4 squares from the corner at Kick-off) may, at the start of the next turn, act as if he had picked up a secret weapon / Determined by Dice Roll: Chainsaw, Set of Bombs, Dagger. The Ref has been paid to ignore these secret weapons, but they have to be dropped when a Touch Down is scored and the player reverts to being just a normal player for the next drive.
Gnomish Hoard Cash may be used to “unbribe” the Ref by paying 20 K – in which case he will spot the special secret weapon before the next Kick-off and send the player off. Both teams can choose to pay.
GAME 3 – Exploding Balls – The usual Game Ball has been replaced by a specially modified ball that may or may not explode – every time the ball is handled – on pick-up, catch, intercept, an additional ball-check is required. On a 3+ everything is fine, on a 1 or 2 the ball explodes, knocking down the player attempting to handle the ball and forcing an Armour Roll. Adjacent players are affected on a Roll of 1. A new ball magically appears two random squares away from the explosion site – if this is off-pitch, the fans throw in a ball as per the usual rules.
Gnomish Hoard will add 1 Point per 50 K remaining in the hoard to the final Ranking. |
