Field Cards are continuous modifiers to the current state of play. Their effects can range from cookie cost modifications, to changing the rules of fights, to even restricting regression/restoration. Field cards are only able to be played during the active player’s Build Phase, though once played, some Field Cards do have quick effects (shooting star symbol) that can be activated whenever applicable.
When a player activates a field spell, the card is placed in that player’s Field Zone on the play space. The card stays face-up and active in the Field Zone until one of 3 events occurs.
- A card or effect removes the card from play. This includes a lot of Field Spell’s own effects, such as Diaper Isle being sent to the discard pile once it gains 3 counters.
- The player that controls a field spell activates another Field spell. The newly activated card will be placed in the Field zone and the previous field will be sent to Timeout.
- If it is an Iconic Field: an effect of the Iconic Field in play gives control of the card to your opponent, who will place it face-up in their Iconic Field Zone and send the existing Field in that Zone (if any) to Timeout.
There are 4 types of Field Cards: Regular, Global, Iconic, and Iconic Global.
- Regular Field Cards can be added to decks in a quantity of 3 per card name. Regular Field Cards have a goldenrod border with a (road playmat) icon in the top left corner of card.
- Global Field Cards can be added to decks in a quantity of 3 per card name. Global field cards have a goldenrod border with a (globe) icon in the top left corner of the card. This type of field indicates the card can either be moved between players, or has abilities that can be activated by both players (see: The Fountain).
- Iconic Field Cards can be added to decks in a quantity of 1 per card name. Iconic Field Cards have a green border with a (fountain) icon in the top left corner of the card. These cards will often have possessive qualities in their names, such as “The Genie’s Scoreboard”, or be locations of known regular regression media tropes, such as “The Fountain” or “Haunted Daycare”.
- Global Iconic Field Cards can be added to decks in a quantity of 1 per card name. Global field cards have a green border with a (globe) icon in the top left corner of the card. Like non-iconic global field cards, these cards can either switch control between the players, or have abilities that can be activated by both players
