Les Règles

When this player is activated, the only action they can declare is a Ball & Chain Special Action; there is no limit to the number of players that can declare this Special Action each Turn.

When a player performs a Ball & Chain Special Action, position the Throw-in Template over this player so it faces one of the two End Zones or either Sideline. Then roll a D6 and move this player into the square as indicated by the Throw-in Template.

A player that moves in this manner does not have to make an Agility Test to Dodge away from another player's Tackle Zone; they will automatically pass. Opposition players cannot use the Shadowing or Tentacles Skills against a player performing a Ball & Chain Action. A player performing a Ball & Chain Action cannot be prevented from moving by the Chomped condition. However, the Stand Firm Skill may prevent this player from moving in the target square. In that case, this still would count as one square of movement.

• If this move takes this player off the pitch, they will risk Injury by the Crowd.
• If this move takes this player into a square containing a Standing player (from either team) they will automatically perform a Block Action against that player; this Block Action will ignore the Foul Appearance Skill. If this is a team-mate, then this player's Coach will choose which result to apply after the Block Dice have been rolled.
• If this move takes this player into a square containing a Prone or Stunned player, that player is Pushed Back and an Armour Roll is made against them.
• If this move takes this player into a square containing the ball, it will immediately Bounce. This will not cause a Turnover.

A player performing a Ball & Chain Special Action can move a number of squares up to their MA. They may Rush as normal, though if they roll a 1, they will move into the square as normal first, including performing any Block Actions, Pushing Back any players or causing the ball to Bounce, before Falling Over in the square they have moved into.

If this player is Knocked Down, Falls Over or is Placed Prone for any reason, immediately make an Injury Roll for them treating any result of Stunned as Knocked-out instead (except if they are Injured by the Crowd).

A player with this Trait cannot have any of the following Skills: Diving Tackle, Eye Gouge, Frenzy, Grab, Hit & Run, Leap, Multiple Block, On the Ball, Shadowing, Steady Footing.
