			'''Brawlers Expansion:'''

			If the Brawlers Expansion option is enabled, 2 new cards will be added to the deck, the Lion and the Unicorn. There is only 1 copy of each, unlike the other characters. These will never appear in players' hands, nor in the top row of the looking glass, and sometimes one or both won't appear at all. In these games, 6 cards will be left out of play instead of 4.

			The Lion scores +2 alone, and the Unicorn scores -2 alone, making them more powerful than other cards, but a player that collects both Brawlers will score a "detrimental 1," which means +/-1 depending on which hurts them more after scoring the other cards.
