About the game
You know that extra spice that completely changes the dynamic of a game session? That's exactly what the 'Dice Tower Personalities' cards bring to Operation F.A.U.S.T. Instead of everyone playing with the same basic rules, this set of promotional cards adds layers of asymmetry to the experience. Each player is dealt the identity of a famous board game personality—such as Eric Summerer or Zee Garcia—and, with it, gains a unique special ability.

The cool part is that these powers aren't all the same. Some act as a 'trump card' that can only be used once per game, requiring you to pick the perfect moment to create the biggest impact. Others are more profound, even altering the player's win conditions. In other words, while your friends are trying to win the traditional way, you might be chasing a secret objective that no one suspects, completely shifting the table's strategy.

Originally, these cards emerged as exclusive rewards from a Dice Tower fundraising campaign in 2015 and were also offered via Print on Demand for backers of the original Kickstarter. They serve to add more personality to the matches, turning the deduction and bluffing game into something more unpredictable. If you already own the base game and want to add that 'who's who' element with unique abilities, these personalities are the way to go. It's the perfect blend of World War II military strategy and the cunning of someone who knows how to manipulate the situation in their favor.
