NAME = CARDBOARD BOX
DESIGNATION = DESTRUCTIBLE OBJECT

COVER = PARTIAL
UNIQUENESS = UNCOMMON
OCCUPANCY = 1
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 3

LIFE = 1

HIDING SPOT
Medium figures may enter and occupy this Cardboard Box. During enemy player turns, this Cardboard Box is considered to be Full Cover. If this Cardboard Box is targeted for an attack or special power, any figure occupying it may immediately exit it.

STEALTHY SNEAKING
Instead of moving normally with a figure occupying this Cardboard Box, you may move this Cardboard Box up to 3 spaces.

ADVANCED INFILTRATION TECHNOLOGY
Every time you reveal a numbered Order Marker on an Army Card you control, if you control a figure occupying this Cardboard Box with the Tactical Espionage Action special power, you may immediately use the Stealthy Sneaking special power.

Cool. Should be a Vehicle DO though correct?

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

It could be, but I don’t think the above write-up needs it to be.

Also just realized I forgot to add a line that lets Medium figures enter the box. Probably need that.

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

Looks decent. I would almost consider saying after rolling for Hiding spot in Quick Escape just so the timing is more clear.

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

Can you Occupy a non vehicle DO?

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

That seems reasonable
What was the Porta-Potty planned to be?

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

Not sure. I just want to make sure the rules actually cover what you want to do here.
I do not think they do currently unless this is a VDO.

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

I preferred the VDO version personally (seeing Snake slowly waddle along in the box is great theme, and would make it more playable IMO, as the box would have to start in your start zone as-is). I’d at least have some way to move it up faster than 6 spaces a round. The first round Snake will have to waste a turn just getting into it.

Once it’s in the action it should work pretty well, I dig the Hiding Spot and Quick Escape powers.

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

Would agree. The box waddling around is definitely the real fun of it.

Re: The Book of Cardboard Box (Breathing)
 

We were going to do the porta-potty as a VDO with zero move that couldn’t have its move number increased.
