Description
--- **The Big Book of Madness: 2016 Greeting Card — Evil Santa** is a promotional grimoire page featuring Christmas-themed effects for shuffling, gifting, and exchanging cards. Key mechanics include: - *THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS*: Shuffle all cards from the support pool and players' hands, then redistribute them clockwise starting with the active player. - *[defeated monster] BETTER TO GIVE…*: Select a player; others place 1 hand card atop their deck in chosen order, then non-selected players draw 1 card. - *[monster victorious] …THAN TO RECEIVE!*: Each player draws a random card from the hand to their right and places it on their own discard pile. The Big Book of Madness 2016 Greeting Card — Evil Santa serves as a promo grimoire-page-as-half-of-a-greeting-card, introducing thematic effects tied to an Evil Santa monster. The primary spell, "THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS," mandates shuffling all cards in the support pool and players' hands before dealing them back clockwise from the active player, effectively randomizing distribution. Upon defeating the monster, "BETTER TO GIVE…" allows choosing a player, after which every other player contributes one card from their hand to the top of the chosen player's deck in any order, followed by all except the chosen drawing one card, promoting strategic gifting. If the monster prevails, "…THAN TO RECEIVE!" forces each player to draw a random card from the hand of the player to their right and place it directly on their own discard pile, disrupting hands through clockwise exchange and discards. ---
