KILL GWEN STACY

INTRODUCTION
Card game for 2-4+ players. 
Gwen Stacy was Peter Parker’s true love. 
In order to jack up the sales of their funny books Marvel decided it was a good idea to kill her off. 
Sales did go up, as did fan outrage. 
Now heres a chance to redo comic book history but with a twist. 

Note: This is not an original work; this is a reworking of the Warpspawn game "Kill Rasputin".

WINNING
Be the first player to kill Gwen. 

THE DECK
Players share a Common Deck. 
There are 5 card Types: 
Method
Conspiracy
Location
Save
Fate

SETUP
Shuffle the Deck. 
The Deck is kept face down.
Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards. 
The player who reads the most Spider-man comics goes first. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Each turn has 6 phases: 
Fate Phase
Meld Phase
Foil Phase
Kill Phase
Event Phase
End Phase

FATE PHASE
Draw 1 card from the deck and put it in your hand.
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.

MELD PHASE
If you have 2 or more of the same card in your hand you may make a Meld. 
Place the Meld cards face-up in front of you. 
For Example 2 Poison cards would be a Meld or 3 Palace cards would be a Meld. 
You can only have 1 Meld of Method type cards in play. 
You can only have 1 Meld of Conspiracy type cards in play. 
You can only have 1 Meld of Location type cards in play. 
If you later gain another card of a Meld you have in play, you may 
Add it to the Meld in this Phase. 

FOIL PHASE
Other players may play Foil cards from their hands. 
A Foil card is a card that matches a card in one of your Melds. 
The Foil card and the matching Meld are discarded. 
Any opponent may play (discard) a Save card. 
A Save card causes the target indicated Meld to be discarded. 
The Active player may play (discard) the Fate card to negate a Foil or Save card.
 
KILL PHASE
If you have 3 Melds in play (1 each for Method, Conspiracy, and Location) you may 
Roll 3 six-sided dice (This is called the Assassination Attempt). 
If all 3 rolls are different numbers, you have killed Gwen Stacy and win the game. 
If 2 of the numbers match, you must discard 1 of your Melds of your choice. 
If all 3 numbers match, you must discard all of your Melds.

The character Gwen Stacy was killed, cloned, brought back, redone, retconned, retouched, rewrote, and generally 
misused by Marvel for several decades. To some of the fans, and I’m one, all they’ve managed to do was ruin 
something we liked very much and make comic books more like the Pulp Hero crimefighters books they evolved from. 
Until the death of Gwen Stacy, the hero in the comics always rescued the damsel in distress. 
In one issue, 121, I think, he didn’t. And comics were never the same again.
