CA | You have the power to Extort. After starting hands are dealt, whenever any other player acquires cards as compensation or draws new cards for any reason (including defensive rewards, new hands, etc.) you may use this power to randomly acquire or draw half of those cards (rounded down) for yourself instead. A player may prevent you from extorting any cards from him or her by allowing you to send one of his or her ships to the warp, but he or she must do so before you take any cards. | Warped by an unstable environment, the Extortionist has long been crazed by greed. Extortionists prefer wealth that has been unjustly siphoned from honest wage-earners, and now, with their hands ever extended, they hope to amass enough for the final takeover. |
