       these characters from your tribe, cohorts, or tribe-friendly characters.

       two cubs die simultaneously, the pack with the highest Renown wins.
     

    Other formats:

    The following are formats that have been used for tournament play but are not considered "standard".

    Beta Test

    as standard with these changes (proposed for use at Catchy Slogan 2001)
  • May not include the highest renown member of tribe in pack.  (example: may not have Gillian Fangs-First or Torvald the Unstoppable in a Get deck)
  • Must gain at least 4 VP from noncombat sources to win.  Bonus for kills, such as Fury or Fianna ability, do count towards this number.  If you overrun twenty renown without getting the 4 noncombat VP, may not win and may not exceed 20-the missing noncombat VP for purposes of overall ranking  (example: Bob has 23 Renown worth of kills in his pile, but only 2 from noncombat sources.  He cannot win this game, despite having renown and his overall renown cannot exceed 18 VP.)
  • Alternate wins will be assumed to fill the 4 noncombat VP requirement.  (ie Red Talons and Uktena victory condition.)  Automatically count as a 20 VP win.

    • Rite of Passage

    As Standard, but must include AT LEAST one cub in your deck.  Used at SRC II.

    Wyrm Hunt

    Only Enemies count for VP.  Slain Alphas, Allies, and Victims do not count for VP.  Other sources for Renown (moots, rites, events, etc.) are permissable.  Proposed for SRC III.
