2.- Site cards - I Want to Believe edition

"I want to believe" tries to experiment also with Site cards. Here we include ideas from Gregory Fremaux and Robert Czepiel, very inspired guys. For example, a Multi-Site that is played at low cost that allows choosing between three options instead of two, but at the same time increasing the risk of being attacked by opponent's Adversaries and that also requires overcoming two prerequisites (US Naval Station, San Diego, CA / Santa Monica Pier, Los Angeles, CA / Somerset, West Virginia, VA & Sangradura, Mexico). In addition, we have taken advantage of regenerating two very controversial cards by equalizing texts and keywords so that there are no problems during the games (Tracking the Killer and Women's Health Hospital). We have also brought back the legendary card "Scully's Dream," which was only printed for the Gen Con Deck (although a different card with a similar effect -Gibsonton- was later created). There is also a very special COMPUTER card that allows Bluffs to be played at higher cost by your opponent, based on a Robert Czepiel's idea (T3 Connection, Fairfax County, Virginia).

 

Ever wondered what was the "Field Office Crime Lab"? No one knows exactly, but here is my humble proposal: 100% compatible with rules (Bluffs can be played on it, and also certain Adversaries). It is the first Site that works as a Resource, remaining in play during the game. It allows to get +1 token for any skill to those Agents that visit the Lab Only one Agent in the Team, gets the token, it can be anyone, no need to be the one with the Equipment card. In fact, you don't need any Equipment card to access the Field Office Crime Lab if you have a useless Witness card in hand. The prize? You get a +1 modifier on ANY skill check. We have designed three Crime Lab cards, including one inspired in the Crime Lab that appears in The X-Files Game (Playstation). We trust that all these cards will enrich your games. Don't hesitate to send us your ideas!
