I hope this FAQ helped clarify any questions you had about GUBS. Have fun playing and may your GUBS be forever protected!

Q: How many Gub cards can I play from my hand?

A: You can play as many Gub cards as you want from your hand.

Q: Do I have to play a Gub card as soon as I draw one?

A: No, you don’t have to play Gub cards immediately when you draw them. Unlike Event cards, which must be played right away, Gub cards can be kept in your hand. But be careful, because some cards can make you lose your hand.

Q: How do I use the Cricket Song card?

A: The Cricket Song card can be confusing for beginners who aren’t familiar with all the different types of cards in the deck. Essentially, it’s a versatile card that can be used as any Hazard, Tool, or Interrupt card and is discarded right away. However, it cannot be used as an Event, Gub, Barricade, or Trap card.

Q: Can I keep playing cards on my turn after drawing an Event card?

A: Yes, you can continue playing cards on your turn even after drawing an Event card, unless the game has ended.

Q: Can the Esteemed Elder hide under a Barricade? Can he be retrieved from the discard pile with the Age-Old Cure?

A: Sorry, but the Esteemed Elder is too special to hide under a Barricade or be retrieved from the discard pile. He’s immune to all cards in the deck, except for Lightning (or the Cricket Song played as Lightning). So, you won’t be able to protect him with a Barricade or bring him back with the Age-Old Cure. He’s just too powerful!

Q: If I use a Spear to destroy a Sud Spout on an opponent’s side, does that Gub come to my side?

A: Nope, using a Spear to destroy a Sud Spout on your opponent’s side won’t make that Gub switch sides. The Gub stays right where it is, but it becomes Free. Only Rings have the power to release their freed Gubs onto the side of the player who set them free. So, keep that Spear handy for other tricky situations!

Q: Can the Flop Boat be played to put a Letter card back into the deck, even if it is the final Letter card (which ends the game)?

A: Great question! Unfortunately, the Flop Boat can’t save the day when it comes to the final Letter card. Even if it’s the last card in the deck and it would normally end the game, you can’t use the Flop Boat to put it back. The game must come to an end when that final Letter card is drawn. So, make sure to use the Flop Boat wisely throughout the game, but remember its limitations!

I: Hey there! I’m here to answer some burning questions you might have about the exciting world of Gubs. So let’s dive right in!

Q: Can I play the Flop Boat card as soon as an Event card is drawn?

I: Absolutely! The Flop Boat is like that trusty sidekick who comes to your rescue at just the right time. It’s an Interrupt card that you can play immediately after an Event card is drawn, but before it can take effect. Talk about a game-changer!

Q: What happens when a Gub is stolen from a Sud Spout using the Smahl Thief?

I: Ah, the Smahl Thief strikes again! When a Gub is stolen from under a Sud Spout using this sneaky card, the Sud Spout itself gets discarded. It’s a bit of a bummer for the poor Sud Spout, but that’s just how the game goes!

Q: Help! My hand is about to be shuffled back into the deck by the Gargok Plague. What can I do?

I: Fear not, my friend! If you happen to have an Age-Old Cure card in your hand, you can use it to save yourself from the dreaded hand shuffle. Just discard the Age-Old Cure card and keep your hand intact. Phew, crisis averted!

Q: What’s the deal with the Retreat card?

I: Ah, the Retreat card is quite the game-changer. It allows you to regroup and reinforce your colony in one fell swoop. You can take all the cards that are currently in play on your side (yes, even those played by your opponents) and bring them back to your hand. And here’s a little tip: make sure to keep the eight-card limit in mind when playing this clever card. It’s all about strategic moves!
