Gen Con

Attraction – Sideshow

Illustration: Mr Cuddington

Theme:Quantity

Notes

Availability:

  • Gen Con 2016 - booth giveaway
  • Unfair base game (GJNPRV) Kickstarter reward
  • Unfair ABDW expansion Kickstarter reward
  • Available now from the BGG store

Playing with Gen Con requires a "lively and interactive" game, which means in practice that the person who controls it should get smacked a lot. Allowing Gen Con to sit with just one player will make for an unbalanced game; it requires that the players add the balance.

Park limits do not apply to Gen Con. This means:

  • Gen Con occupies a special attraction space in your park that is otherwise inaccessible, and does not use up a standard attraction space.
  • Gen Con's attraction space is not numbered. If any effect needs to calculate based on the attraction space number, the answer is "not applicable", and the calculation fails.
  • Gen Con is not nearest to your park entrance. It is not furthest from your park entrance. (It is a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere.)
  • When Gen Con moves to another park, it does not free up an attraction space for building other attractions in your park.
  • If an effect allows moving an attraction within your park, Gen Con is not a valid target, because it cannot move into a standard attraction space, and no other attraction can move into its space.
  • If an effect allows demolishing an attraction, Gen Con is a valid target, because it is still an attraction in your park.
  • The star total of Gen Con (plus any upgrades added to it) is not subject to the normal park capacity limit, so you can add the 4 stars from Gen Con after limiting to your capacity. For example, if you have filled a capacity of 15 without Gen Con, your park would score 19 stars with it.

To show the special nature of Gen Con's position in the park, it is recommended to place it separately above the park entrance, rather than in a standard attraction space.

As with any other attraction, any upgrades added to Gen Con move with it when it moves. Any tokens it has accumulated move with it when it moves.

  • This card is a gift from the designer for players who have helped to make Unfair better through playtesting. It is only available in this way, and will not be for sale in future. We have a general philosophy that all cards should be available to all players; this is the single exception.

The clock symbol on the price tag means "the current round number". The cost to recruit the Playtester in the first round is 5 x 1 = 5, compared to the cost of recruiting them in the last round when it is 5 x 8 = 40. This means that while it is possible to keep the Playtester hidden in your hand for the entire game, the benefit will be somewhat reduced by the extra cost of recruiting them later.

The chosen change in rules affects all players equally.

 

You can sign up here if you would like to be considered for future playtesting.

This attraction closes immediately after it is built, because it does not have a theme. It doesn't automatically open again if you add a theme - you must open it manually yourself, or wait until the normal reopen activity during the Cleanup step.

The attraction reopens every Cleanup step, along with all other closed attractions, but if it doesn't have a theme by that time then it will immediately close again.

+Alien Ambassador

The Street Performer copies all of the rules in the ability of the staff member he duplicates, and keeps them until the end of the round.

This means that  if he copies the Alien Ambassador, he moves in the same way as the Alien Ambassador during the Cleanup step, and does not return automatically to his original employer.
