The Riddle Box: Games: Into The Echoside Cards

	Example: Ninjas and Hound Dogs
STARTERS Every army that has assembled for battle begins with a few noble warriors who are the spark that will eventually ignite the fire…along with a few outliers to fan the flames.

	Examples: Superballs, Willoughby Rags, and The Wraith
DARK CARNIVAL Through the ages, the powerful and enigmatic spirts of the Dark Carnival have been warning of the coming apocalypse through visions and dreams, calling to all who would take heed. Now they have emerged from beyond the mystic shadows of the carnival grounds to assist Juggalos, the enlightened warriors of the mortal realm, in their last-ditch effort to turn the tides against the forces of evil. These unpredictable beings can seem somewhat malevolent at times, but adding them to your ranks can help you increase your Karma, allowing you to more easily achieve all that you desire.

	Examples: Rude Boy, Killjoy Club, and Psychopathic Rydas
PSYCHOPATHIC Over the course of the last few decades, Psychopathic Records has foreshadowed the end times through the release of some of the most creative music the world has ever known. Their gifted artists and driven employees have dedicated their lives toward gearing up for the apocalypse and are more than ready to join the fight against the legions of the Nethervoid. By their side stands their huge Juggalo Family, who are also ready to ride or die when called upon. Adding Psychopathic allies to your cause will make it easier to call upon these affiliates, increasing your numbers when the battle is upon you.

	Examples: Madchild, Jelly Roll, and Kottonmouth Kings
UNDERGROUND Artists of the Underground remain some of the realest people there are. Their inspirational music has instilled wisdom, hope, and joy, even to those who walk on the broken path of despair. Seeing as the Nethervoid denizens feed on fear, the music of the Underground remains one of the greatest weapons to use against them. Many of these Underground artists have also earned the deep respect of the Juggalo Family, who will rally behind them when their cause is just. Gaining Underground allies will bestow you with a variety of very useful benefits that should give you the edge you need to overcome any obstacle in your way.

	Examples: Riddle Box, Dark Lotus, and Monoxide
EPIC The exploits of these legendary Epic allies have helped shape the very world we live in. They’re so infamously powerful that they strike fear into even the most corrupted demonic heart. Having even one on your team can be immensely beneficial, but they’re so immersed in their own worthy agendas that it will be difficult to sway them to join you. Their Epic strength, knowledge, and abilities will give you a fighting chance to be victorious against the horrors that await you when you finally enter into the frigid catacombs of the Echoside.

	Examples: Toy Box, The Raven's Mirror, and Murda Cloak
ITEMS Equipping yourself with a range of Items could mean the difference between survival and defeat. From simple weapons to ancient magical relics, these will all give you a decisive edge when facing the challenges that await you. You are exploring an otherworldly dimension filled with supernatural horrors and untold manifestations of evil incarnate, so don’t doubt the power of these Items for even a second—staying strapped is absolutely essential in your situation. After all, a trusty axe is sometimes the best negotiator when all else fails.

	Examples: Black-Eyed Children, Ol’ Evil Eye, and Mr. Happy
FIENDS Horrific flesh-eating abominations stalk the cold twisting tunnels of the Nethervoid, possessing a thirst for blood that can never be satiated. Defeat these demonic creatures and it’s possible they can be bent to do your bidding. They are, after all, abhorrent beings who care only for their own well-being at the expense of all else. Once defeated into submission, these Fiends can be called upon to aid you or unleash devastating attacks against your foes. Even though these creatures only exist to eradicate life, sometimes in your battle to save humanity, you need to use everything at your disposal to win the good fight.

	Examples: Joker’s Wild, Lil Somethin’ Somethin’, and Gang Related
FLAVOR Everyone can use a little Flavor now and then, especially when you’re attempting to save humankind from a grisly fate. You never know quite what you’re going to get when you obtain Flavor, but it’s all a vast melting pot of random benefits. There are some minor gifts amid powerful boons that could save you from the jaws of defeat. One thing is certain—when you get some Flavor, things are about to change for the better, so it’s always a good idea to get as much of it as you can.
