Notes of Interest
There are several oddities about the play and setup of the many aspects of this game. One of the most notable is that there is not enough money included with the game to purchase some of the items that are provided within the Equipment deck. These three items (Lockheed Javelin Jet, Voyager Helicopter, and Distorter) all have listed costs of over $1000000, when the game only provides $664,000 in cash. There is no statement in the rules that says that you are only limited to using the money provided however.
In the Minion Hunter supplement there are randomization rules that supplant the built in limitations of the Plot deck. The way the Plot deck is configured it is possible to remove enough cards during the random draw to make it impossible for one or more of the minion races to win. Using the random rules, a roll is made against a table for each plot card when it is first encountered. This causes there to be no real limit to the amount of plot points that could be drawn for each minion race.
The Distorter is the only item in the game that cannot be purchased with the material in the box. Both of the other big ticket items offer an alternative stat test to acquire the card, but the Distorter does not.

“If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
The mist is dispell’d when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
