Hex Effects is back, but uh oh…

Hex Effects is back in stock! We sold out of our initial Kickstarter-backed first run in just a few months — but we’ve got a bunch more in stock that you can buy now.
Let me just open one up and take a look at all this awesome artwork and… wait…
There's something in the rulebook that shouldn't be
Hex Effects includes 10 Disasters cards, 3 Snake Oils, and 2 Jinxes. These are all the action cards that come in the base game. For the Kickstarter edition, as a stretch goal, we included one bonus action card: Deus Hex Machina. This was never meant to be included in future editions.
So when we updated our assets and sent them to the printers, did we remove the description of Deus Hex Machina in the rulebook? Nope. We accidentally printed all new Hex Effects copies with the Kickstarter-edition rulebook.
There is no Deus Hex Machina card in your deck despite what the rulebook says. We are very sorry for the confusion.
Looking on the bright side — if you’ve got one of these copies with the unfortunate errata, consider yourself lucky. For one, all the information you need is still in that rulebook so you’re not missing anything. And two, maybe it’ll be a collector’s object one day — much like our Side Effects magnet box edition.
And if you’re itching to get that Deus Hex Machina bonus card, we can assure you it’ll appear in a future Hex Effects expansion (much like the Side Effects: Booster Shot, available now!).
The replay value is what adds even more fun to Space Waves. Because each level is based on a different music, each try seems novel and thrilling. Players are urged to surpass their own best scores, open up new stages, and even pit their reflexes and rhythm against pals.
For those looking for something new in these types of games, I recommend checking out https://indi.1xbet.com/games/thimbles . You can quickly check the details there, plus there are various bonuses for new players. I like that the game combines simple rules with deep strategic potential. I've been playing with friends for several evenings now, and everyone is thrilled, even those who didn't like it before are hooked. It truly lives up to expectations. It's colorful, dynamic, and a thrilling experience.
The back of the box lists 7 action cards, but this post only mentions 3 Snake Oils and 2 Jinxes. Is that also a misprint, or are there actually 7 action cards in the non-Kickstarter edition?
