C
	CALCULATOR . . . Power to Equalize
	Wild: As a main player, once challenge cards are played, call "odd" or "even". When the cards are revealed, if their total is as you predicted, your opponent's card value is now reduced by the value of your card. If you were wrong, your card is reduced by the value of his.
	CANCELLER . . . Power to Cancel
	Wild: While you hold this card, your turn is limited to one challenge.

	CANNIBAL . . . Power to Devour
	Wild: When your color is actually flipped in the destiny pile, each of your tokens may "Cannibalize" another player's tokens from a base that you share with him. Remove one of his tokens from that base to the warp for each token you have on the base. Discard after use.
