Description
Play this immediately after any die roll you make to discard that roll and try again; it doesn't cost an action, but you must discard your top Group card, or any two Group cards from your hand, to do it.
Conspiracy Narrative
"Fnord" is the famous invented trigger word from "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" and its source text, the "Principia Discordia" -- a word supposedly hidden in every newspaper that conditions people to feel vague anxiety without ever consciously noticing it. Since the Illuminatus! novels directly inspired this entire game, fnord is arguably its single most iconic in-joke.
Goes well with
Both draw directly from the Discordian "Principia Discordia" tradition that shaped the Illuminatus! Trilogy this whole game is based on.
