1. Each Node has a perma colour gem added to the board. Blue, Black, Red and Green Perma colours add an extra step at the beginning each of the players'turns. For example, the Blue Node allows each player to draw an extra card at the beginning of play. The exception to this is the White Node, which allows each player a gem to be activated, and the activated gem will disable the opponent's first Creature until the beginning of your the player's next turn.
