Red Deck – Cheerfulness-Related Failure Cards:
Overzealous Optimism
Description: In a burst of cheerfulness, the character underestimates the situation, leading to potential pitfalls.
Effect: On their subsequent turn, the character’s actions, driven by unfounded confidence, face a minor disadvantage. This contagious optimism might affect an ally in proximity, making them slightly more prone to errors in their next action.
Laughter’s Lapse
Description: The character, overwhelmed by a bout of laughter, momentarily loses focus on the task at hand.
Effect: The character skips their next minor action or movement as they recover from their mirthful moment. A nearby enemy, seizing this opportunity, gains a minor boost in their next action against the character.
Bubbly Blunder
Description: Riding high on cheerfulness, the character misinterprets a signal or gesture, leading to confusion in the ranks.
Effect: A planned strategy or coordinated move with an ally fails due to the character’s cheerful distraction. The affected ally, while appreciating the mood, faces a minor setback in their subsequent action.
Green Deck – Cheerfulness-Related Crit Cards:
Gleeful Glide
Description: The character’s high spirits translate into swift, graceful movements, catching foes off guard.

Heartening Hum
Description: A spontaneous, cheerful tune escapes the character’s lips, boosting morale and instilling hope.
