Shuffle the cards in with the rest of the Damask cards into the bag. These three cards play as regular Damask cards but with three exceptions. 1. The pattern does not count as one of the patterns for the bonus points from mounting all 4 patterns and is never considered fashionable. 2. The pattern only matches up with other Gamefound promo patterns. 3. Each card only needs 2 background colour cubes to complete instead of 3.
