Tassie D: The Chaos Agent
"Six cards left in the deck. I haven't played a single Event."
Tassie D smiles at nothing in particular. Her hand is full of cards she hasn't played. Her board looks manageable. She's been sitting there the whole game.
That's the setup. That's always the setup.
Then the final turns arrive and her hand opens. GG izi takes the territory that would have decided the game. Doom N Gloom empties the hand that was supposed to stop it. Stash Snatch reveals the last answer anyone had. The board that looked manageable a moment ago is unrecognizable.
Origin
Dank Desert. The territory everyone underestimates. Yields are inconsistent. Most campaign plans leave it for last — which is exactly what Desert growers have always relied on.
While other territories fight constant wars over obvious value, the Desert grower builds something quieter: a stockpile, a scheme, a hand full of Events that opponents assumed were defensive cards held out of desperation. When the final reckoning comes, those assumptions cost everyone else the game.
Tassie D carries that legend. The moment of disbelief when the hand opens — that moment is the whole point.
How she sees the game
Predictability is a liability. The player whose moves can be anticipated gets countered. Every opponent prepares for what they expect. No one prepares for what they can't predict.
That means accepting short-term disadvantage for late-game leverage. Holding Events longer than feels comfortable. Trusting that chaos resolves in your favor when you create it — not when the board forces it on you.
She's lost games by waiting too long. She's never stopped believing that waiting was right.
The interrupt window
Tassie D hasn't moved all game. The interrupt window opens and she still doesn't move — until one specific moment. Then every Event lands at once. The table does the math afterwards.
If this is you
You like surprises — giving them, not receiving them. You're drawn to the highest-variance play in any situation. You find straight-line aggressive strategies a bit predictable, a bit dull.
You're at your best when opponents have decided what you are before you've decided to become something else entirely. You've been underestimated before. You've learned how to use it.
